MAKING MASTERMIND (PART THREE): ACTORS

Mastermind is cast. "Is" being present tense and all.

I'm very pleased to have J Claude Deering in the role of J.D. and Katharine Brandt as Liz.

Both are accomplished actors, Deering having been seen in Entourage as Brett Ratner's assistant and he's shooting a pilot this week, so perhaps we'll be seeing a lot more of him soon.

Brandt is a founding member of Tall Blonde Productions, who put on the Shakespeare in the Cemetery productions, in which she appeared, as well as having starred and directed several other stage works.

Mastermind is running as part of a festival of one-acts at The Black Box Theatre (12420 Santa Monica Blvd., West L.A., CA 90025-2522). April 18 at 8PM.
