I loved this moment in @d.e.admovie with Carl (@jschmock ) Eric (@nickamarini ) and Harris (Mark Lonow). You can see them when our movie deadthefilm.com comes to PVOD on January 5th on Apple.tv Amazon and Dynasty.tv ( where we have some JUICY extras!) PRE ORDER NOW!

✨ Episode 10 of I Don’t Know What We’re Talking About — hanging out with Nick Marini @nickamarini 🐶🎬

You might know Nick from Cobra Kai, but in this episode we went way beyond karate — chatting about how his dog literally saved his life, diving into the wild side of acting, and getting completely sidetracked by, well… everything else. (Would it even be my podcast if we stayed on topic?)

🎥 Landing on YouTube in just a few days — don’t miss it!

Ayden,

My barefoot sweet summer child.

A seed still sprouting towards the sun,

Who read first from the signs of the stars.

Steadfastly standing up for his family

Through the tears of a child forced to grow up.

Ever hopeful in the belief that

Light can shine within us all.

I love you,

Farewell.

What an absolute honor to play in the @critical_role universe

Thank you @matthewmercervo for inviting us all into this beautiful, deep, and multifaceted world. It is a gift that continues to grow.

Thank you @brennanleemulligan for telling such powerful stories with me all these many wonderful years. They have helped shape me in ways beyond measure. I am eternally grateful. Love you my friend.

To @laurabaileyvo @executivegoth @abzysalim @noshirdalal and of course @ashleythejohnson experiencing this with you all was truly divine. I am in awe of your talents as storytellers. It was joyous and profound to play amongst you.

Special thanks to @agarthanguide and @kingcael for breathing life into Ayden. I don’t know if I would have found my way without the light your talent provided. Your art truly inspired so much of who Ayden became.

Thank you to @thisdanicarr and @kyleshire and all the others at CR who work behind the scenes to bring these stories to life! You are so appreciated and made me feel so welcomed. Thank you for your immense support.

And finally, last but most definitely not least, to all the amazing fans of CR, thank you for your deep love of a truly remarkable story.
