“Beauty and the Beast” reviewed by Glendale News-Press

The Glendale News-Press just posted a glowing review of Beauty and Beast at Glendale Centre Theatre:

Director Erin Villaverde has developed a fine eye for subtle detail. Gerrard can’t just sit and listen to the sad tale of Belle’s father (older pro Mario DiGregorio) — he has to sit on his bent over servant, that toady LaPew, (played by Derek Houck with more than a passing resemblance to a younger Wallace Shawn).

I encourage you to read the full review. Beauty and the Beast is playing every Saturday at 11am until November 20th. The Glendale Centre Theatre is located at 324 North Orange Street, Glendale, California 91203. Tickets can be reserved by calling (818) 244-8481.

See Derek Houck in Episode 4 of “Alan Hollywood”

Episode 4 of Alan Hollywood, entitled “About Last Night,” is now online! The guys and the girls separately talk about the events of the party in the previous episode where Alan and Jill almost kissed and Sherri fell for Alan’s nerdy friend, Craig, who she thought was a casting director.

Alan Hollywood is a web series about the adventures of a computer programmer named Alan as he settles into his new home in Los Angeles. I play Craig, the socially inept co-worker who lied to the attractive Sherri, and now must tell her the truth. How will she react? I hope you enjoy!

Super Undead Doctor Roach has been released online!

The superhero short I was in last year, Super Undead Doctor Roach, has been released online for all to see!

Edited, written, produced and directed by Chad Clinton Freeman, Super Undead Doctor Roach is the story of a scientist obsessed with bugs, becoming an accidental super hero. It was originally a seven-minute 48 Hour Film Project produced in April of 2009. The project, edited by Michael Su, was a runner up for the Las Vegas 48 Hour Film Project Audience Award. Doctor Roach was then expanded to its 13-minute length and went on to screen at the Arizona Underground Film Festival in November 2009 and played at the bondage convention Xanadu Las Vegas 2010. Derek Houck (Silent Night, Zombie Night) stars as the short’s title character and has a supporting cast that features Henry Clarke (S4), Scream Queen guest Rachel Grubb (13 Hours in a Warehouse), as well as Juliane
Price, Reagan Pfifer, Jason Kelly, Daniel Nagelhout, Laura Moore, Kristine Wright, Ken Kupstis and Miranda Humphrey.
