Post image for The Role I Was Born To Play: Light Bulb “Black Marketer”

Last night I made my network debut on NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams. I wasn’t interviewed. Nor was I mentioned by name. Rather, NBC Nightly News ran a story on the light bulb ban featuring a snippet from a short film I appeared in last year, about a dystopian future in which incandescent light bulbs are only available for purchase in back alley, secondary markets. I play the role of a “black marketer,” as my character is introduced by the NBC reporter.

To see the NBC News segment, click here. Below is the short film featured in the segment, “The Future of the Light Bulb Ban.” And click here, here, and here for excellent commentary on the light bulb ban by my colleagues Sam Kazman, Brain McGraw, and David Bier, respectively.
