The above clip was the very first thing I ever acted in... and had to do an accent on top of it! 3 years later and I just keep growing and discovering some amazing roles here in Central, Vermont. Thanks for all the positive feedback.

I really enjoyed the clip. I, like Portia Cue, am impressed with the amount of work you have been able to do in just a year or two. Congratulations. Also, I decided in about 2010 to take up acting in films and, although I haven't acquired as much work as you, I have really enjoyed the work I have done. I hope you find a moment to watch my "reel" ... mostly as continued encouragement, that us "old" guys have a bunch of talent that so many of these young folks - who are also - just getting into the business don't always think about when writing, casting or considering. Shalom, shalom, Bryce Bullis http://vimeo.com/58890872
