Lots of GREAT News!

I'm in a new Independent movie called "QUIT"
that is currently filming!

I play the wild and crazy Harley, who, after a night of drinking and gambling with her girlfriends, picks up the the male lead who is hitch-hiking. My friends and I have won big at the gambling tables, and now with a hunky young thing in the pick-up truck, we think we've just hit the jackpot again! I get a whole lot naughty with the boy-toy, which isn't to his liking!

It's a little raunchy, a little rude, and played for comic fun. The movie films during March 2008, and hopefully will be released either on the festival circuit or in the theatres in late 2008 or 2009! Photos to come!!

I have a wonderful NEW YORK Theatre AGENT!!!!!

On May 20th, 2008, your local store will be selling the complete 1st season of "The Bill Engvall Show" featuring yours truely in the episode, "Have You Seen The Muffins Man!"
If you don't want to buy the dvd, you can still see the episode for FREE on the internet!!!!!!
Go to http://www.tbs.com/shows/billengvall/
then click on "Watch Full Episodes", then click on the episode entitled "Have You Seen The Muffins, Man?" You can just fast-forward to the 3/4 mark, and you will know you are at the right place if the scene starts with the elevator doors opening!!! About 25 seconds later, you will see me, Tim Meadows (from Saturday Night Live fame) and Bill Engvall have a nice 30 second scene.
In case you don't know him, Bill Engvall is one of the very funny men from the Blue Collar Comedy Tour (along with Jeff Foxworthy, the Naked Trucker, and Larry, the Cable Guy). The sit-com is an nice, old-fashion family half-hour co-starring Nancy Travis ("3 Men & A Baby) and Tim Meadows ("The Ladies Man" from Saturday Night Live).
If you like me in the show, please take the time to email TBS and tell them so. The show was just picked up for another season (YEAH!!), and I would love to have them bring Barbara, the Sandwich Lady, back for a few episodes next year!
tbsinfo@turner.com
The show premiered on TBS on July 17th at 9/8central

This is me with series regular Skyler Gisondo, who plays Bill's son, Bryan Pearson. In my role, I am Barbara, the Sandwich Cart Lady at the building where Bill works. I hear that his wife is selling muffins to make extra money, and through a blog sent around by Tim Meadow's character, I come to understand (wrongly) that "Tiny Bryan" isn't growing, and that's why his mom is forced to sell her wears door to door!

"The Wheelchair Mafia" and see a 2:30 minute tape
of part of my part on American Body Shop.
Watch it often, pass it along to friends, and laugh!!

I played Tonya, the Quadriplegic, on episode #4 of a new Comedy Central series called, "American Body Shop." It's a wonderful guest-star part, and VERY funny.

The show is part-improv -- on the order of "Reno 911."
In fact, the press material states that Comedy Central hopes that "American Body Shop" does for Auto Mechanics what "Reno 911"
has done for the police force!"

American Body Shop! With my fellow Guest Stars:
Jed Rees, Bevan Kaye, Dana Reed, and me.
I'm blowing into my wheelchair steering device... one of my funny bits!
You might remember Jed from "Galaxy Quest", and Bevan & Dana are talented, amazing stunt actors!

"Surrender Dorothy" was the CBS Sunday night movie, January 1st at 9:00 p.m. /8:00 central. I was in three scenes, one at the beginning, then another as a flashback as Sara dies, then my big scene with Diane Keaton near the end of the movie.

The kind, wonderful Charles McDougall, who directed me in "Surrender Dorothy," won an Emmy for his work on the pilot for "Desperate Housewives!" Very cool!

From my "Malcolm In The Middle" shoot!
Here's a photo of Bryan Cranston and me after shooting our big crying scene for 7 hours!!

My play, "Theatrical Fantastical" is still touring the San Diego County elementary and middle schools. And in April, 2004, we added my newest play, "Eureka! California!" to our mix. For more information, please go to my "Theatrical Fantastical" page!
