I’d always suspected a wilder side; she had a tattoo on one of her butt-cheek which I thought [...]

Christopher Guest and Eugene Levy co-wrote this movie, the second in the Mockmentary trilogy that includes A Mighty Wind and Best In Show.

My decision to accept a role in a small local production has sent my 12 readers and 183 “friends” on Facebook into mild speculation. What is the play? When is it? Why am I being so secretive? Why indeed? My life is ever so much the open book. I mean, I’ll post something under the [...]
