On Friday I shot an episode of Monk with Tony Shalhoub and Traylor Howard. This was my second time on the show, the first time being in the episode entitled "Mr. Monk and the Employee of the Month" I shot a little over 2 years ago. Friday' role was quite a bit bigger than my first and equally as fun. The cast and crew were just as friendly and fun as I remember them being the last time.

Then of course Tony and Traylor were great to work with. They're both quite focused and generous actors. And then my fellow co-stars made the long hours fly by. Tim Bagley who plays Harold Krenshaw (Monk's nemesis) was a lot of fun too, even though he only had to lay there while I hold him in my arms (you'll have to see the episode to understand).

We all had a bit of fun with the fact that one of my lines was, "Hang on fella" since the use of the word fella may stand out and feel a little dated these days. It created one of those situations where when the take ran long we just tried to hold it together without laughing.

One of the more exciting parts of the day for me was having Jonathan Collier direct me. He's written a lot for The Simpsons and King of the Hill, two of my favorite shows of all time.

I'm looking back on this post wishing I had some dramatic story to share, but really everyone was calm, professional, and fun. So there you have it. Nothing super exciting, but certainly a highlight for me, working with some great people that I've always been a fan of.

The name of the upcoming episode I'll be on is "Mr. Monk and the Daredevil" so keep an eye out if you want.
