Couple's Counseling (love is not always perfect...)

When I can, I will step out from the comfort of my computer and workbench to get in front of a camera. In the Spring I met a very funny guy named Carlos Gonzalez, and a few days later found myself on location shooting, directing, and even acting in a little short that he wrote with fellow comic (and smokin' hottie), Liz Iacuzzi. For you fans of the SyFy series, Face-Off, the make-up effects were handled by season 4 winner, Anthony Kozar, along with fellow contestants, Meagan Hester, Alam Park, and Katie Machaiek.

If you enjoy it, please vote "Funny" to help Carlos. We shot a lot of material that day -- this is just the first of a few bits.

    Hysterical. But I'm not sure what's more unusual: a zombie with a disparaging wife or a person with computer skills who can talk about feelings (well, or at least act like he can).

    Good job!

    Fantastic, Jon! It was great to see you on that side of the camera again, too.

    Everybody in my immediate vicinity watched it, so expect some "Funny" votes!

    Thanks, gang, I'll share your kind comments with Carlos, Liz, and the crew.

    Yeah... the zombie craze is a bit overwrought, which is EXACTLY why we did it, though we played by one of the rules of comedy which is to do the unexpected. Though I'm a pro, it was often difficult to keep a straight face when Carlos would go on a riff (he's a professional comedian in New York). In the end, both Carlos and Liz (also a pro comic) trusted my judgment to play it absolutely straight; they were magnificent. We're all very happy with the result, and I'm pleased you enjoyed it. And you all thought I was just a pretty face behind a keyboard! :)

    Again, thanks for you nice comments, and please share the video with your friends.
