RockBarnes!!!

So, I did a testimonial for this rad new self-help guru.

StageSceneLA Best of 2009-2010 Award!

The incredibly nice reviewer Steven Stanley of StageSceneLA included me among the Best of 2009-2010. I won "Outstanding Performance by a Lead Actor/Musical" for Huck Finn in Big River at the Actor's Coop. Steven's motto is to accentuate the positive in LA theatre and I think he is doing just that. Happy to be among friends on this list and happy to be acknowledge.

So much and I haven't posted in months.

I think all of my blog/news updates have been, it's been sooooo long. Well, it has. Tons has happened. I did another play! It was an original piece by Braden LuBell titled Quick & Dirty and it was produced by an awesome new theatre company in LA, The Racket Collective. On top of that, I booked my first commercial (?), well, it was technically a promo for the MTV Movie Awards, but it was also a commercial for Orbit Gum. Yes, I worked with the Orbit girl, so I can go ahead and retire now. It was interesting to see that they replaced the Orbit Girl with a new very similar 2010 version. I guess the other girl can't complain....she did say "Fabulous" all the way to the bank for 7 years. Anyway, the video is in the media section, we are a high school drama club spoofing The Hangover. I am Zack Galifianakis...we have such similar body structures....nope. That's definitely 4 hours in hair, make-up and wardrobe. That's all for now. I am going to Costa Rica for 13 days on a half volunteer trip, half vacation. Fun times.

It's been forever!

Well, I just realized that it has been forever since I updated my NEWS section of my website. I don't know who really comes to my website, but I am doing this for you. I guess I should start by saying, thank you for reading this...you are a valuable human being. As far as, NEWS goes in the life and career of Sean Hankinson, I shoot an in-house commercial for Cepheid. It's a spoof of the MAC commercials. It's 3 spots and very funny, so I will be posting that in the media section ANY DAY (like tomorrow). The bloopers are the best part. In other news, I am thrilled with the climate lately...it stopped raining, but I heard that it might be returning in 2 days. I don't do well when I am wet, but I guess it will cool us back down. It's crazy that it's hot here and my Grandma in Indiana can't leave her home because of the snow....fun times.
