Twitter really feels like that old mall near your house that used to be great and have that massive JC Penney and a movie theater. We still go becauseโฆhabit and nostalgia, but the movie theatre is now a topless bar and someone is cooking meth in the food court.
HAVE YOUR SAY! And settle the ultimate debate...

Cleared out my momโs house this weekend. If love can be measured by the amount of framed pictures she had of me, I was very, very loved.
And clearly more loved than my brother and sister ๐ค
Someone keeps creating fake accounts in my name. Up until now Iโve just messaged them and asked them to cut it outโฆbut Iโve had enough. Boy, did they had some choice words for me! ๐
I had an AMAZING weekend at

The UK has a VIDEO GAMES AGREEMENT!
Finally, UK-based Video Games Actors will have the same rights as their Screen, Stage & US counterparts when they sign on to a project.
Looking forward to seeing all the UK studios sign up to the agreement!

Very often, when Iโm in a pubโฆaround 10.30, someone will politely ask me if I have any coke.
Do I have a face for cocaine? If so, do I also have a face for someone who has cocaine to spare?
Jay Benedict - one of the greats - passed away today. If you work in ADR, dubbing, voiceovers, theatre or film in London, you know why we're heartbroken; a big voice and even bigger personality has left us.
VALE JAY! โค๏ธ
Before you move to the UK, you wonder why people here always talk about the weather. I'll tell you for why: because the weather here is IRRITATING. It's currently 14 degrees. But when you leave the house, be sure to bring a cagoule, an umbrella, snow shoes and factor 50.
Extremely happy to be able to assemble five such fantastic Final Fantasy talents on the

stage for our masterclass with the incomparable Yoshinori Kitase
Yesterday's sober, responsible version of myself deserves a shoutout for treating today's severely hungover self to a stack PANCAKES!
I think itโs the nicest thing Iโve ever done for myself.

Weโve had ice rain overnight here in Norway. This morning I tried to walk up a hill but gravity decided otherwise.
On impact, a river of super-cooled water slid between my shirt and pants before aiming itself at my taint and down my legs.
I have NEVER felt more alive.
The vile stuff spewed about people like me in the 80s and 90s is now being Jackson Pollockโed about people who are even more vulnerable. All to deflect from the real issues.
Last night I had the honor of presenting the BEST GAME Award at the 2023 Gayming Awards in NYC!
Thanks to the lovely folks at
@gaymingmag
for having me.
