This past Saturday, I got to be Tony’s date to Nickelodeon’s 2015 Kids' Choice Awards. The inner 12-year-old in me was freaking out. If you’d told that chubby girl with a bad perm and a love for denim skorts, feverishly dialing to vote for "Kenan & Kel," that she would one day be the arm candy of a Nickelodeon star on the orange carpet, she would have lost her mind.View Article
Nickelodeon and Paramount announced the full cast of "School of Rock" today! Breanna Yde is set as Tomika, Jade Pettyjohn as Summer, Ricardo Hurtado as Freddy, Lance Lim as Zack, and Aidan Miner as Lawrence. And they are AWESOME. I actually met Jade a few years ago, when she starred in "Prodigal," a short film my roommate and friend Ben Grayson co-wrote and directed and I executive produced. (She was as talented, sweet and professional then as she is now.) All of the kids are talented, sweet and professional; Tony lucked out big time, landing this group for his co-stars. Every day he comes home from work, he’s bubbling about how great they are and how fun his job is. He loves working with them.View Article
I think it’s safe to say this was Tony’s best birthday ever; the big School of Rock news was the most epic gift of all time. Because we’d had to sit on it for a while before it was finally announced a few days prior his actual birthday (October 12), we’d been celebrating long and hard by the time the weekend rolled around. We’d planned to keep the party going Friday night and meet up with friends, but we were so tired that the idea of being social (or showering) was too much.View Article
