GAP National Commercial

Shot my first national commercial for Gap for the holiday season. 
Agency: Weiden + Kennedy. Directed by Sofia Coppola. She was very generous, and let the actors work it out. ‪#‎loving it‬

Praise from NYT's Charles Isherwood

Bastard of Strindberg playing at the Lion on Theatre Row.

Review from New York Times:

"Mr. Osei brings a simmering intensity to his performance."

Neworld TV Interview

An interview on NeworldTv.com by the lovely Ana Hoffman about my process and background.

HOT DANG!

So this is kinda embarrassing, but the whole point of this blog is to keep folks abreast of news in camp Osei as well as commentary about acting in general. Since I haven't blogged for a prolonged period you might be under the assumption that I have put my Shakspeare collection in storage and retired from the stage, but I assure you that any rumors are vastly exaggerated. I will do my best to get you up to speed with the latest and greatest going on this season.
So stay tuned . . .

ROYAL PAINS

I got the news last nigh that I have an audition for a recurring role on Royal Pains this morning!! Wish me luck!
Also had a good audition yesterday for Ralph Ellison's The Invisible Man, produced at Boston's Huntington Theatre. A play I was in rehearsals for at Looking Glass Theatre got canceled last week, so I needed good news! . . . and that is another story that I will write about later.

P.U.M.P.S

Aww sookie! The Short film PUMPS is finally here. A fun little comedy I worked on last year as a part of a 24 hour film project. It had to be filmed and edited in 24 hours, so it was a bit tight, but we had a lot of fun.

One Man Scotish Play

I was on-set on The Good Wife earlier this week and was chatting with Allan Cummings. Everybody knows that he is a great actor, and one of the reasons that I'm a big fan of his is that every chance he gets he gets involved with theater. He is doing a one man production of Macbeth at the National Theatre of Scotland this Spring after the Good Wife season wraps. Luckily for us he will bring the production to New York from July 5th through July 14th as part of the Lincoln Center Festival.

So get your tickets fast, that sucker will sell out faster than a cold beer on a hot summer day!!
