Led by Bad Horse, the Evil League of Evil is the most prestigious cadre of super-villains on the planet.

But The Gentleman Caller does not want to enter into the full league, just one very specific part of it.

Another entry in the Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog DVD contest.

The cult internet hit Doctor Horrible's Sing-Along Blog is holding a contest in preparation for the show's release on DVD. Fans have been encouraged to create their own super-villain and submit an application video for membership in the Evil League of Evil. The winning entries will somehow be included in the DVD.

Following the jump is my first entry: Todd Hawkins, VAMPIRE!

You know you're not working a regular 9-5 job when you're getting ready to leave the house and have to think, Hmmmm... where did I put my Speedo and those tear-away track pants?

-Tom, who -- yes -- owns a Speedo and tear-away track pants.

As my buddy Pete pointed out recently, my doppelganger is running loose on some hit comedy show on HBO.

But that's not the first time I've gotten the old "Hey, you know who you look like?"

So I have put together the definitive list and now leave it in YOUR hands, gentle readers, to determine who TRULY IS my evil twin.

Happy Valentine's Day, faithful readers! I love you with posts, you love me with page views.

I'm five weeks into my animation class and here's a little V-Day treat for you: a snippet of scene study from a series called God, The Devil, And Bob.

There's no intentional Muppet theme this week and yet I can't help but think this entry is somehow related.

I just started a class in voiceovers for animation and video games. The first session was basically an overview/introduction with some booth time at the end where we got to improvise a series of voices in an interview format. Attached below is a snippet of what came out of my turn in front of the mic.

I have a commercial audition tomorrow. Here's the breakdown of the role:

"Non-threatening, any ethnicity, any body type, average looking non-model non-actor, an element of the mundane."

Clearly these people do not read my blog!

Right?

Cause "mundane", that would never apply to my blog. I mean, just look at yesterday's entry. I dressed up like a vampire! THAT, that is edgy... That's the sort of stuff that hip, stylin'...

*sigh*

...yeah.

-Tom, non-model non-actor? Really?

I spent most of yesterday putting together a rough cut of potential bits to use in my animation voiceover.

It was fun. Give a listen:

Hint one:

If you are sitting in the green room waiting to audition for Arby's, don't serenade the room about the cool Jack-In-The-Box commercial you saw.

Hint two:

If you are ticked about the annoying 1-hour drive from Palmdale, maybe don't buy a house in Palmdale.

-Tom, just sayin'.
