Flawless Has Many Faces...

I've started rehearsals for the multimedia performance of Raw Death, the true story of Anthony Ray Hinton. I play his new defense attorney, as "Ray" was without representation for 13 years. This is the first project that I've really had to research. Its rather disappointing reading over his deposition and seeing the amount of suppressed evidence that never made it into the court room. Ray has been on death row now about 3 decades for a crime he did not commit. The evidence fully supports this. His case was recently heard at the Supreme Court which did rule that Ray had "constitutionally deficient" counsel. I am honored to be bringing awareness to this case and hopefully aid in getting some discussion going about our criminal justice system and the racial bias it continues to perpetuate. Below is a picture and a couple of videos of our recent rehearsal. Karen, with the fro is playing Ray with the writer and director Vassilea Terzaki.

Other than preparing for this project and finishing up the NBC Comedy Playground one, I'm just chill-in like a villain. Enjoying the beautiful weather we've been having and preparing for my 1st Vparty.

No matter what comes your way, enjoy the day!
