Its the end of the year and I know it...but I feel fine!

Hello Folks,

Apologies for lack of recent blogging, been working on a bunch of stuff and time getting away from me

So 2011 is rapidly drawing to a close, a little over 30 hours till 2012 as i write this. It was an interesting year to say the least, sadly lost a couple of good friends (RIP Big Steve and co), gained a good few new ones, learnt a lot, and got to work on a couple of really cool projects and some good things in the works for 2012.

My brother from another mother Ian Powers tied the knot to his lovely wife Jo-Xia, with the original Iron Monkey himself, Chen Kuan-tai officiating the ceremony

Started the year on RZA's Man with the Iron Fist project, did a bunch of commercials through the year, couple of industrial/corporate videos, helped out on a couple of music videos including two for CYDI directed by Simon Yin Diesel and Derrick the man with the Deadly Lens Fong

Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6IHtZwxODM for Born to Be and the genius that is Bacon N'Eggs Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyvFk1XK6HM Got called in to do some casting for Resident Evil: Retribution the 5th installment of the live action video game adaotation...bringing in the lovely Li Bing-bing to play Ada Wong alongside Milla Jovovoich's Alice

As well as doing some preliminary casting for a new series from Starz called NOIR which could be very interesting

Finally finished work on a project that has been in development for several years, and features a lot of Alive Not Deadtalent lending their voices to the game. (Had worked on it on and off for the last few years)

Was invited to step back before the camera for a supporting role in the 2nd feature from Murderer director Roy Chow, Nightfall starring Nick Cheung & Simon Yam which sees me playing a role tailor made for me, a bald unshaven racist Policeman!

Was reunited with some of the Iron Fists team for the upcoming Keanau Reeves project Man of Tai Chiwhich i'm currently working on, and just before Xmas got to shoot a real down and dirty classic 1980's styled Hong Kong shoot including fights and car chases which was a great way to end the year..more about this later!

So to everyone on A'ND...Happy New Year and Best Wishes for 2012
