Greetings! I'm an east-coast raised, Hollywood-transplant lifelong character actor (Scandal Free!), Voice Over artist, short-film script writer (generally comedies, often dark or a quirky left turn), one of my scripts I directed, shot this past March 2018 as the script won the 2nd annual WeMakeMovies Rolling Production Fund script competition, through which the project received a bare bones shoestring budget, and we were still able to turn out a cinematic looking short.

I'm Geoffrey Gould, a lifelong character actor who grew up on the stage in northern New Jersey, now acting in Los Angeles. You can find me on imdb, on twitter at realbadger (currently 8660+ Followers, and [due my activity], average acquiring about 125+ legit new Followers per week). The google search term "geoffrey gould demo reel" will bring up my comedy-focused 85 second commercial sizzle reel on YouTube. While much of my work has been general to Very Featured background (I have a commercial agent and still seeking TV/Theatrical representation), my principal work has included a Superbowl spot (as an ostrich-chased postman), a Day Player gig on "The Practice" (with Sharon Stone running her fingers through my hair), and close to 200 various student films (USC, LA Film School, NY Film Academy, UCLA, et al). I solo-voiced the short "The Pride of Strathmoor" (now viewable on Vimeo), which won 2015 Slamdance's Jury Award for Best Animated Short. I also recently starred in the indie feature film "Everything," now in post production. To my amusement, the production even created a wikipedia entry for/on me. I also write short films (mostly comedies), which have been well received with the L.A. based actor-writer-filmmaker collective We Make Movies; for one script the actors liked it so much we're filming it in January. [If that shoot goes well, I am hoping the crew involved will assist in another short of mine, which has its cast attached...] I love being/working on set. I'm very directable and love promoting productions on which I've worked: I do comedy (dry, cerebral, to slapstick and low-brow), drama, intense dark roles, etc., and I hope I can be of service to your upcoming projects...!

Production and principal photography continues "around me" on the indie feature film "Everything" in Missouri in which I'm the lead; it is a matter of months (maybe weeks), before I am flown out back to Missouri from Los Angeles for my scenes (our filming my scenes in London, England this past November 2013 was awesome [and thankfully not very cold at the time]...).

With the successful Kickstarter campaign for the feature film "Everything" complete and raising slightly more than the goal, production is starting up again; in a month or three I'll be back to Missouri to film my scenes.

Emma Thompson was robbed as PL Traver's in "Saving Mr. Banks" (as was the film itself: its production design, both 1960s and late 1800s wardrobe, Tom Hanks, et al). Amy Adams was good in "American Hustle" (a film I also enjoyed tremendously), but hers was nothing compared to Emma Thompson.

Thank you now I know how to use it....lol

Greetings all! Geoff Gould here; lifelong character actor, growing up on stage back east from comedy and drama adult productions, to slapstick and prattfall filled comedy for kids' audiences. While I'm an actor whose done extensive background work in features and TV, I've done 150+ student films with USC, LA Film School, NY Film Academy, UCLA, etc., as well as a Day Play contract role for an episode of the final season of "The Practice" (in which Sharon Stone runs her fingers through my hair), as well as a few speaking principal gigs: one for a 2009 Super Bowl spot for Pedigree where as a postman, I am pursued by an ostrich, another as the lead for a McDonalds regional, and another as a lead for a director's reel "but" handled as though it was an official commercial gig. I've also done several non-speaking principal commercial bookings, but would love to do more, as well as for TV and theatricals. I've a habit of being 30+ minutes early for shoots, auditions and interviews, and have nothing but patience between set-ups, lengthy or otherwise. To me the Story is the Star, so I put aside what ego I may have to do the best I can so the directors' and producers' vision is what is on the screen. I hope I can be of service to what projects would be best suited for my talents and experience.

Having been assisting and working closely with the writer/producer of a Concept Pitch TV project, I've been offered Script Consultant credit for it.

Shot some great stuff in Missouri, then London, England, for feature film "Everything" in which I'm starring... looking forward to the rest of the film blocks for it early 2014.

Just an idea: Let us start this 'WHAT IS YOUR 2014 PROJECT' topic -and go for a long list- so that others can read what is coming and join, help or colaborate if possible. I'll post two projects to kick off. What are yours?

A fan of satire, if my demo reel at http://geoffgould.net/demoreel.htm conveys the sort of humour for which you're seeking, let me know if I can help. http://imdb.com/name/nm0332380

Greetings! I'm a lifelong actor, having grown up on the stage back in New Jersey, as well as doing sound design and tech for numerous productions, both adult and children audience shows. After starting work on movies and TV, I moved to Los Angeles in the late 1990s, was somewhat quickly Taft Hartley-ed booking my first national commercial, and I have starred or been featured in various commercials including but not limited to a 2009 Super Bowl spot for Pedigree in which I played the ostrich pursued mailman. I've worked on about 150 student films for USC, LA Film School, UCLA, NY Film Academy, etc.; my work ethic with acting being to having the directors'/producers' vision be what's on the screen. My demo reel/s are at my geoffgould.net website. While I have a commercial agent (currently I still do not yet have TV/Theatrical representation), in late 2013 possibly into early 2014 I will be starring in an independent feature film being shot out in Missouri and London England. I hope I can be of service to what project roles my comic-to-dark range is best suited.

Thank you for the connection! Look forward to hearing more about your work & projects. Here's a few links if you'd like to join me on twitter or listen to my music: http://www.twitter.com/maxmusiccouk http://www.reverbnation.com/maxmusic Cheers Geoffrey
