Morning Show: Local TV News

9/22/2011

 
Brian Dykstra (who plays Mark Rothko in RED) and I got up early to do a segment for KTVI FOX 2 in St. Louis.  During the action of the play, we prime a huge 9'x7' canvas; on air, we helped anchor Tim Ezell paint a much smaller version.  An early morning, but fun.
