Several years ago I was in an excellent production of The Full Monty, and I consider that experience to be one of the highlights of my theatrical career. The Full Monty has always been one of my favorite shows, and getting the chance to work on it was a dream come true. Moreover, getting the chance to play Jerry (a role I’m not “traditionally” physically suited for) was an even bigger privilege. Read More ...
Wow, there’s so much to say! Rather than blather on with a long introduction, let me just dive right in. For those of you who don’t know, my cher, Mary Poplin, has been involved with the VFX industry for quite some time. She’s worked as a matte painter, a compositor, a roto artist, and a stereoscopic conversion artist. She was my gateway into the wonderful world of VFX artistry. Read More ...
When I was a little kid, probably nine or ten, my parents took me to see The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Some of you may question the parenting wisdom of taking a child that young to see a movie that features sex, transvestite aliens, axe murders, raunchy crowd participation, and perhaps most objectionable of all, Meatloaf. Everything about that film says, “Don’t bring your ten year old son to see Read More ...
Take a close look at that photograph. Notice anything special about it? Anything… familiar? I don’t want to brag or anything, but yeah, I’m in there. That’s me as Enjolras, the villainous, very macho (but not as macho as Javert) leader of the ABC Cafe student uprising. This is, of course the all-important moment of the show when Javert, our hero, decides to infiltrate the treacherous band of students in Read More ...
Hi, friends! Sheldon here, with another one of my perplexingly infrequent updates! (I have a bad habit of blogging only when major changes occur in my life. I’ll be better about it in the future. I hope.) Anyway, updates! After a brief hiatus from acting, I have decided that I will be diving back into it with a vengeance during the new year. I’ll be focusing on getting film, television, Read More ...

Hi, friends! A couple of updates for you: This coming Wednesday, (May 23) my band, The Bad bad Things, will be opening for the legendary Spazmatics at The Viper Room! I’m so grateful for being given the opportunity to play with such a legendary local band.

Hi! Just wanted to whip up a quick post to update you all on the latest news in Sheldon-land. I’m terrible about blogging frequently, so there’s always so much to report! I’ll start with the biggest news first: I am now officially a member of the Screen Actors’ Guild! Thanks to the generosity of many of you, and a year of saving, I finally managed to scrape together the Read More ...
Hi everyone! Sorry it’s taken me so long to update, but I’ve been a busy little monkey! Busy with what? Well, I’m glad you asked! There was always music in my house while I was growing up. Some of my earliest memories involved the simple, joyous act of appreciating music: dad rocking out to Led Zeppelin; mom singing Good Vibrations while doing the dishes; me sitting in the living room Read More ...
Hi! It’s been a while, so I thought I’d post a quick update to let you know what’s going on in Sheldon-land. As you may have guessed, our very successful run of High Fidelity finally closed last month. And though I am sad to see it end, I can at least take solace in the fact that I made some wonderful friends among the cast and crew. I’m also grateful Read More ...
