  • Valentine's Day

    I hope you and yours have a great Valentine's Day. When you have children you get to watch as they assemble different pieces of parcel with names scrawled on them to give out in a giggling school room. When I was a kid, I remember the Valentine's game ...

  • A Decent Message

    Hello friends. I have not written in quite some time. Apologies. I haven't had much to report and didn't want to keep telling you what shows to watch or what products to buy etc.. Finally I have a decent message to convey to all of you. I am currently ...

  • Side Note...

    On a side note: I asked some people on set today what was the best live music show they ever saw. Actually, I asked Donofrio and then we started shooting and I didn't get to ask anyone else.  I hope he doesn't mind me writing this (I don't have his pe...

  • CRIMINAL INTENT

    I have an off day today. It's strange to suddenly put on the breaks once you are in the full swing of things. D'Onofrio and Erbe are the ones that should have a day off. I cannot begin to tell you ho much dialogue the two of them have to remember each ...

  • Criminal Intent

    The days sort of run together. I began listing them numerically but after a while it really just boils down to, "How many lines do I have tomorrow". Last night I had two. The day before that I had three. Today is a pretty big day. I am in every scene b...

  • This is a message...

    This is a message to jmill911@yahoo.com One of the reasons I left twitter was because of assholes like you. Anyone reading this, feel free to email him and let him know he can get lost. He lives in Louisiana and has asked online how to store gasoline ...

  • Criminal Intent

  • Criminal Intent: Day 2

    I was up at 5am today to go through a run through Central Park. That time of morning is always so cool no matter what city you are in. Whether you are watching a beast like New York slowly stretch awake or driving along the fog covered ocean in Los Ang...

  • CRIMINAL INTENT: End of Day 1

    Great first day. I am laying in bed in my pajamas. I am eating room service chicken soup. I am watching the Knicks game on TV, my wife by my side. Life couldn't possibly be better. Troll free.

  • CRIMINAL INTENT: DAY 1 - Lunch break

    Well, that was interesting. As I mentioned before I am playing a Charlie Sheen-esque coked out fashion designer. I rehearsed today's scene in my hotel room about a thousand times. I had a bunch of super neat ticks and gestures that I thought were perfe...

  • LAW AND ORDER CI: Day 1

  • Twitter

    Twitter sucks. It starts as a really amazing social network but slowly and surely becomes an amazingly awful social network. When I signed up for Twitter I was super excited. I wanted to type super funny things. I wanted to hear feedback from fans...ok...

  • I am a....

    With the cancelation of Gary Unmarried I have found myself standing around my house in a bit of a daze wondering, "Where am i going to make my living now?". I am a fool. When I was sixteen years old, I walked onstage in West Orange New Jersey for the f...

  • Gary Unemployed

    I got fired today. many of you know what this feels like and I know most of the country has gone through something like this lately. it doesn't take the sting out of it though. My television show, GARY UNMARRIED was, "Not picked up" by the network. it ...

  • Radio Wars

    Hi guys. Here is another blog entry. I think this entire blog thing is pretty strange. I must have an enormous ego to think that whenever I write something, you will quickly read it and leave a comment about how cool it was. I'm not even sure how many ...

  • Hereafter

    Hey all. I just wrapped filming HEREAFTER with Matt Damon, directed by Clint Eastwood. I have run out of adjectives to explain how cool this all was. Six months ago, I was put on tape in a small room at Warner Brothers. It was a saturday and it was jus...

  • Giraffe Tatoo

    Hi guys. I have gotten a lot of emails from you asking why I have a giraffe tattoo. The answer is that my paternal grandfather used to collect giraffe statues. His house was filled with them. My grandfather was a great man. He did it all. He taught sh...

  • Daddy, can we...

    My son wakes up so damn early he should have a morning radio show. Maybe he is destined to be a long shore fisherman. Maybe he just smokes meth. Regardless, each day my son expects me and/or my wife to get out of bed and start building Legos when it's ...

  • World Series

    Okay, okay. I know I owe you guys a funny blog. I have been reminded by a few of you though that it has been YEARS since I wrote a sports blog. Hopefully to those of you that don't care about sports, you will have compassion for the people that don't c...

  • TMZ and the Paparazzi in General

    I would like to address the website TMZ and the paparazzi in general. Lately there have been a few photos of my wife and I walking to our car, walking to the market etc. The caption is always about how awful we look and how thin my wife is. I never c...

  • No Longer...

    I took my son's car seat out of my Escalade today. I had no idea that this simple act would make me so sad. Long gone are the days of digging out Cherios from the crease in his seat. No longer will I wipe down the head rest with wet paper towels becaus...

  • New Post

    I had to put my dog to sleep yesterday. Well, to be honest, I didn't do it, the vet did. I always imagined, years ago, me holding my rotteiler in my arms whispering sweet things to her as the vet injected her and she drifted off into the beyond. Ins...

  • Kayak

    I asked my three year old son if he wanted to come with me to go rent a kayak. He said, "Um...no thank you." I asked him again and he declined. I started to get my feelings hurt. I thought to myself, "why doesn`t this boy want to spend more time with m...
