The film I shot last year with Jesse Martin, "Peter and Vandy" has been accepted in Sundance this January!!!! I'm soooo excited! I haven't seen it yet, but that's great news. Many of you already know about that. What most of you DON'T know, is that I also appear in Chris Rock's documentary "Good Hair," which ALSO made it into Sundance this January!!! That's right, I'm in two movies in Sundance. I've never even been in ONE! Well, except for that one time I was sitting on a subway in "Brother to Brother" for three seconds. I'll blog about "Good Hair" and fill you in. Still shopping "This Can't Be My Life". It's a long process, but hopefully we'll have some progress to report shortly. It’s still HYSTERICAL! …Check out the Official Myspace Page…Link is to the right... or just watch the trailer from episode one AND NOW EPISODE 2 in my videos section. I also did a voice in the web series "Afterworld." I play Nurse Thomas in episodes 41-45. Check out the website! It's really kick-assl!!! Scott Alan's CD "Dreaming Wide Awake" is NOW AVAILABLE!!! Go to my music page to hear the song! It's up now!!! It's called "Let Love Begin" Go to my blog Upcoming Stuff" to learn how to buy the CD!! I Finally, I re-recorded "Falling Apart" for Jeremy Schonfeld's new album "37 Notebooks"! Adam Pascal, Shoshana Bean and other brilliant singers are on this album. Just go to his myspace page to learn how to get your copy, or skip that step and go to CDbaby.com. It's NOW AVAILABLE!!!!

To fast-forward or rewind, slide the brown dot along the green line once it loads. Or to skip to the next song, just click the end of the green line. It takes you to the end of the current song. I encourage you to not just listen to the first song! All these are my favorites! Or just leave it on while you do stuff and it'll play through all of them. It's a nice little sountrack for life :-) Numbers 7 and 8 are my 2 favorite songs of all time...they're GENIUS!

I’m a lucky girl. I act. I sing on occasion. Mostly I just act a fool. And people sometimes pay me to do these things. Sometimes not. I’ll do it either way…well…sometimes.

I'm usually too busy for TV, but I'll do this part anyway. OBSESSED with Big Love, and Flight of the Conchords; love Grey's Anatomy, Heroes, The Shield, and Cold Case (yeah, I had to say it. Shoot me cuz I like my own show!). And of course, my beloved cartoons, The Powerpuff Girls, Dexter's Laboratory, and Family Guy...WATCH PUSHING DAISIES THIS FALL!!! It's by one of the guys that did Wonderfalls, and stars my good friend Lee Pace!

I suck cuz I'm not as well-read as I'd like to be. But I love Native Son, A Lesson Before Dying, Assata, The Invisible Man and Jazz. I hear those Harry Potter books are pretty good :-)
