The best part of this whole thing was the people I got to work with throughout the process. It’s such an amazing group of performers. I feel lucky to be part of the cast. I feel even luckier because we aren’t parting ways just yet. We are going to do a cagematch. Yes Project Improviser is going up against Hot Sauce Thursday August 3rd. Please help us come together and win something as a team. Reserve your tickets here http://www.ucbtheatre.com/schedule/showdetails.php?showid=25.

Jim from Ontario writes: “Hey Sean, in episode 4 Greg refers to doing scenes with you as, “business as usual.” That sounds crazy to me. What does he mean by this?”

Geez, I can’t say for sure Jim. I’m not Greg! Also, he has cosistently refused my collect calls asking him to “clarify those remarks!” and “use better diction!” and “VALIDATE ME!”

However, I can take a pretty good guess. I think his use of the phrase “business as usual” was a reference to the fact that it was incredibly hard work for Greg to accomplish even the most basic objectives in scenes with me. Often times, Greg would enter the stage with some sort of “idea” or “thing in his head” that he wanted to say. At this point, I would begin tugging furiously at his rich, supple beard. In turn, Gregory would produce the thin metal pipe which stays sheathed in his pantleg at all times, and thrash me quite soundly. The editors of our program have seen fit not to include these segments (about 13 altogether) in their final version of the show. Does the product suffer for it? You be the judge. Hey Jim from Ontario, you’re my first international fan. A letter from Canada!?!? Now I’ve seen everything!

Kim from California writes: “Hey Sean, Project Improviser is my favorite show. Seriously, though, do you have any theories about Lost?”

Kim, you came to the right place! What I have is not a theory, per se. It’s more of an excellent suggestion. What if all of the events and characters on Lost weren’t actually happening, but they were only taking place in someone’s dream. But who’s having the dream? An autistic child, of course! And maybe the kid is holding a snow globe in the last episode, and it has an island inside it. No show has ever done this before and it wouldn’t feel like a cop-out at all. I’ve written several letters to this effect to the heads of programming over at ABC. Feel free to join the campaign, Kim! Keep on shining:)

Arcadius from the District of Columbia writes: “Hey Sean, Nick is better than you!”

Hold on Arcadius, that’s not a question:) However, since this is the type of letter that I’ve been receiving most frequently over these past several weeks, I felt the need to post it here anyway. Thanks for writing, Arcadius. You seem swell!

Karen from Hawaii writes: “Sean, I just watched all the episodes. Your hair looks so great. I want hair like that! Who does your hair?”

Whoa, slow down Karen. I’m blushing! First off, let me say that the technical staff on Project Improviser is top-notch. I suffer from a rare disorder known as alopecia which prevents any hair from growing on my body, whatsoever. Some of the producers over at “P.I.” thought that this fact might prove distressing to our audience.

A series of make-up and lighting techniques is used to create the illusion of a full, realistic head of hair. Then, in post-production, our team of graphics engineers computer-generates a pair of life-like eyebrows onto my cold, shiny forehead. In fact, if you were to run into the real (hairless) me on the street, you probably wouldn’t even recognize me. Sorry to disappoint you Karen from Hawaii. Hey, save me a pineapple!:)

The enormous sucess of Project Improviser has resulted in a lot of letters from our faithful viewers. I thought this blog-space would be a good place to address some of the questions posed by the fans.

Sarah from North Dakota writes: “Sean, in episode 3 you performed in a scene with Cody where you pretended to reveal your Wenis on stage. I really believed it was happening! How are you able to do such convincing and dynamic Wenis-work in scenes?”

Great question, Sarah. It’s called “acting”. Acting, or “pretending at the audience” was first discovered in 1971 by Gabe Kaplan. Originally dismissed as just another passing fad, it can now be seen in all sorts of popular forums that we encounter every day.

For example, did you know that some form of acting can be found in nearly one third of all Hollywood films produced each year? It’s true! And of those same films, nearly 70% feature none other than Tinseltown sweetheart Jeff Goldblum, an actor! As you can see, Sarah, acting fever has proven highly contagious. Go on and catch it! Thanks for writing. You’re neat .
