Hey lovelies! People really dug my entry about Playstation and behind-the-scenes goodies from there, so I’m starting a new blog series about some of my gigs where I don’t sign an NDA

Recently, I was on set for a CA Academy of Sciences commercial that’ll air in the fall. The California Academy of Sciences is this beautiful science museum, self-described as “the only place on the planet with an aquarium, a planetarium, a natural history museum, and a 4-story rainforest all under one roof.”

It was the first time I had ever been to this museum and WOW, it was absolutely lovely and nice to not be in front of a greenscreen mimicing amazement when I could be actually showing it.

I was part of a young couple (the guy is pictured in the this crazy picture from the Academy’s Extreme Mammals exhibit).

There were also fake grandparents, grandkids, fake mother and daughter etc (all the fake awesome family-ness you could want in a set!)

We ended up making crazy faces in front of the Gorilla exhibit (similar to our audition, which reminded me of the “Dance, Monkey, Dance” sequence in Zoolander) and we also did a frolic through some of the stuffed animal exhibits as a very adorable fake couple.

We were also lucky enough to be styled by one of the stylists for America’s Next Top Model! He was generous enough to snap this quick picture with me too. He put me in this hilariously puffy black tutu with bright purple leggings and the top and necklace above.

Just an average day visiting the museum. I was completely amused!

All-in-all, a really fun shoot where we watched Disney and Pixar movies in the breaktime and hung out and joked during the off-time. It’s interesting to be back on set as an actor after producing/writing for long periods of time. It’s certainly different!
