Really proud to have worked on such an important cause as The Meth Project with the team at Organic SF. And so fortunate to have had the phenomenal talent, Darren Aronofsky actually direct spots I’ve written. Still cannot believe it.

Oh my … Our favorite bit from It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia is getting a stage adaptation and coming to a city possibly near you. If you haven’t seen this skit, watch the episode (Season 4, Ep.13). Awesome.
