NetFlix

One of the most common questions people ask me is 'What do you do after the show? You must be tired!' This is where Netflix comes in. I don't watch much television but I am a sucker for a good movie. A typical Off Broadway evening for me is

5-5:30: Arrive at theater, stretch and warm up my voice
6:55: Places
7pm-8pm: Showtime
8-8:20: Shake hands with the audience
8:20-8:45: Towel off and change clothes, take the subway to the apartment
9:30: arrive at the apartment, shower and eat meat with vegetables of some sort
10:00: Watch an educational epic like '300' or something more sensible like 'Braveheart'. (depends on what my wife wants to watch as well, we take turns).
11:30pm-Midnight: Crash and burn. Bedtime.

So as you can see without Netflix I'd be stuck watching the three channels that are available in the apartment that has been subletted for me. Each channel has a different version of the news but they all have a lot in common - somebody got killed, the nation is in a financial panic and John McCain is 'just like me' or somebody's cat gave it's life to save a crippled rat trying to cross the subway tracks.

I'm sure this is the exciting jet-setting life you expected of an actor performing his own one man show Off Broadway. I am one wild and crazy dude. Kids, do not try this at home.
