MORE MAGGOTS FROM "FEAST"

2006-09-15T19:58:00.000-04:00

A little trivia - the guy who did the snakes for "Snakes on a Plane" provided all the maggots. The make-up fx people in charge were Richard Redlefsen, Michael Mosher & Gary Tunnicliffe. FEAST opens next friday September 22!

FEAST - MAGGOTS

2006-09-15T19:54:00.000-04:00

For FEAST, I had real live maggots all over me - including in my mouth and up my nose. I didn't mind at all.

FEAST

2006-08-10T01:05:00.000-04:00

The new official poster for FEAST! This is a new movie I'm in (I'm billed 4th on the poster). I think it's going to be great. Please go check it out the first weekend it comes out. It opens Friday September 22 at midnight. It's playing Friday & Saturday midnight screenings only.
I'll have more photos up soon.

DUANE HOPWOOD ON DVD

2006-06-02T04:01:00.001-04:00

David Schwimmer plays DUANE HOPWOOD in the movie. I play his new friend ANTHONY. We both work the overnight shift at Caesar's in Atlantic City. He's a pit boss & a slot machine repairman who is trying to be a stand-up comic and actor. In this photos I'm wearing a huge hat (part of a stand-up act i'm working on (in the movie)). The bag I'm carrying is a bunch of props.

FULL GROWN MEN production pic

2006-05-02T17:47:00.000-04:00

I got a new movie, FULL GROWN MEN. I'm the 2nd lead in the movie. I play a much different kind of role. I'm the more serious one in the movie. It's a drama with comedic elements in it. It's about two guys who go on a road trip in Southern Florida who haven't seen each other in 20 years (since they were kids). I play a special education teacher named Elias Guber. Here's a still from the movie.

The movie stars Matt McGrath as my friend Alby. The movie also features Alan Cumming, Amy Sedaris, Debbie Harry, Joie Lee and many other really good actors. It has been playing this past week at the Tribeca Film Festival

David Schwimmer & myself rehearsing during the filming of DUANE HOPWOOD.

I'm wearing the huge hat because the character I play is a comic who is just starting out and he thinks goofy costumes will get him laughs. This was at a house right off the beach in a little town next to Atlantic City.

NEW MOVIE - DUANE HOPWOOD

2006-04-25T03:30:00.000-04:00

Here's a still from the movie DUANE HOPWOOD. It comes out on DVD today (4-25-06). It's a drama that has funny stuff in it too. It stars Schwimmer as pit boss who works the overnight shift at the Caesar's casino in Atlantic City. The movie deals with his alcoholism & his struggle to not lose his family and turn his life around. I'm the 3rd lead in the movie. I play a guy named Anthony who also works the overnight shift at the casino - but my job is fixing the slot machines. My character is also trying to be a comedian. Janeane Garofalo is the second lead - she plays Schwimmer's ex-wife. The movie also features Dick Cavett, Steven Schirripa, Susan Lynch, Bill Buell, John Krasinski, Jerry Grayson, and many other actors who do a really good job. Matt Mulhern wrote & directed it - you may know him from many movies he's acted in - including one of my favorites - EXTREME PREJUDICE. Lemore Syvan & Marc Turtletaub produced. We shot it in Atlantic City. Lots of great Italian food there. The movie is available for rent & to buy on DVD.

Yes, that's me with straight hair, no glasses & a mustache.

vegetable of beef

2006-04-13T02:32:00.000-04:00

no pic on this one. blogger's not letting upload pics for some reason.
i got some pics from the LIVE FREE OR DIE movie premiere from 4/11/06 and a college show i did on 4/08/06.
went to a block in nyc that has five 24 hr. korean restaurants (on one block) with a total of about 6 customers combined - and that's including me and my friend ben. the restaurant we went to had zero customers. it was about 230am. the waiter who was korean, spoke no english. we were trying to order 1 order of beef dumplings and one order of vegetable dumplings. on the menu it said "beef of vegetable" dumplings. we figured it was a typing/spelling mistake and it meant to say "beef or vegetable" dumplings. after a 10 minute discussion trying to explain to the waiter that one of us wanted beef & the other vegetable - we got no where. the waiter finally went to the kitchen to talk to the cook. after a couple minutes, he came back - we again reiterated "beef" for my friend and "vegetable" for me. The waiter said "dumpling...5 pieces". so he did know a little english - but it still didn't help. then my friend pointed to himself and said "beef" and i pointed to myself and said "vegetable". the waiter looked more confused. i think he thought our names were "beef" and "vegetable". then i got excited because i thought of a way to explain it! on the menu i pointed to "dumplings" - then i covered up all the words except for "beef" and pointed to my friend as i said "beef" - then i covered up all the words except "vegetable" and pointed to me and said "vegetable dumpling". the waiter then shook his head and said "no, dumpling is 5 pieces". we then said that we were still not communicating. then i noticed that the man who busses the tables was watching. he was latino. i figured maybe he could help since he works with the waiter. we explained the situation to him to see if he could help explain our order to the waiter. turns out he knew less english than the waiter. the waiter went to the kitchen again, and came back and said "dumpling 5 pieces". the whole ordering process & discussion was about 15 or so very intense minutes. we decided the dumplings were probably beef and just ordered one order. we also ordered bib bam bop. my friend got the beef and i got the vegetable - the menu clearly labeled these as different items. about 100 seconds later, our food was served. incredibly fast service. the dumplings were very good and they were some kind of meat. not sure if it was beef - and, there were no vegetables. maybe it really was "beef of vegetable" - whatever that is - if it exists. the dumplings were good. my bib bam bop had beef in it though - and it was unappetizingly cold. my friend's also had beef in it (which it was supposed to) and it was hot (which i prefer). it was pretty good but not great. then we left. we said good night & everyone including us were quite happy and satisfied eventhough i don't know how any of us could be. i think we were their first customers ever. on the way out i noticed a poster in the hallway for an all asian basketball league, informing people to sign up for it. it looked interesting, but i'm not asian, so i did not write down the phone number. it was a pretty enjoyable experience, eventhough the food wasn't that great. but it made me realize that different languages really are different.
anyways. more pictures tomorrow.
Gotta go build a paper mache house. gonna see how long it lasts.

Astronaut Training

2006-04-05T23:35:00.000-04:00

Becoming an astronaut takes lots of training. Since videogames are important, you should have a large supply of video games to play at home.

Just playing games at the arcade is not enough. And remember, concentrate on the space-themed video games.

Yes, I play video games.

2006-04-05T23:32:00.000-04:00

Before becoming an astronaut, I recommend becoming incredible at video games.

Asteroids is a good game to start off with.

This Is Why I Love America

2006-04-05T13:43:00.000-04:00

I'll let these images speak for themselves.

I AM THE ORIGINAL RECORD BREAKER

2006-04-05T03:26:00.000-04:00

Here's a photo from wireimage.com photographer Jeff Vespa from January 2003 where I'm wearing my RECORD BREAKER hat.
The guys on "Call to Greatness" are not real record breakers. I am. And I have the hat & photo to prove it. You can go to my page at imdb.com to look at more photos.

The photo is dated January 2003 - 3 years before "Call to Greatness" premiered. I pitched a show to MTV well over a year ago called RECORD BREAKER. I'm I upset. No I am not. I am the WORLD CHAMPION and the original true one and only RECORD BREAKER. And as the World Champion, I do not get upset. Because I am a winner.

Premiere Magazine April 2006

2006-03-20T22:47:00.000-05:00

Check it out - there's a picture of me in the new issue of Premiere magazine. In the photo, Joseph Fiennes, Wilmer Valderrama, Brad Hunt, and Ty Burrell are trying to kick my ass.

But they failed.
Because I'm the World Champion.

The World Champ Photographed by Top Film Critic

2006-03-12T04:07:00.000-05:00

Here's a photo that Roger Ebert took of me when I was on the red carpet for the premiere of "The Darwin Awards" at the Sundance Film Festival in January. I took a photo of Roger - that's the next photo - check it out.

Roger Ebert - Photographer

2006-03-12T03:58:00.000-05:00

If you look closely you can see Roger Ebert behind all the press photographers. I took this photo when I was on the red carpet for the premiere of "The Darwin Awards" at the Sundance Film Festival in Jan. 06. Ebert was at Sundance watching movies as well as taking lots of photos.

Sundance 06 - Director

2006-03-12T03:48:00.000-05:00

Kind of blurry photo of me with a great guy, Finn Taylor, the director of "The Darwin Awards". It premiered at Sundance in Jan. 06. I thought it was great and hilarious. It'll come out later this year.

"Pizza" movie

2006-03-12T03:42:00.000-05:00

This is a poster for a movie called "Pizza" in which I had a little role. It played at the IFC Center in NYC. It should be out on DVD soon.

2006-03-12T03:38:00.000-05:00

Billboard in Vegas. First billboard. Pretty cool. And pretty big.

Look close - I"m standing on the street under the billboard.

Correct Clothes for Flossing

2006-01-23T04:24:00.000-05:00

If you want to do a good job flossing your teeth, it is of utmost importance to wear the appropriate attire. If you dress like this, have the right attitude, and use the right technique - you will never have to know a disease named gingivitis. This outfit provides great flexibilty and range of movement which is necessary for top quality flossing. Notice how no hat is worn for flossing - it can get in the way. This outfit can also be worn for brushing your teeth - but it is not the best outfit. But you can still get in a good quality brush - just not the best. I will provide pictures for this on a later date.

Table Tennis Champion

2006-01-15T02:22:00.000-05:00

Judah takes time to pose for a photo during training at the U.S. Table Tennis Center in Gaithersburg, Maryland.

Intense concentration is one of the key elements in top level table tennis.

Victory

2006-01-15T02:17:00.000-05:00

Another winning point.
After winning this match, China made me an honorary citizen.

Backhand

2006-01-15T02:15:00.000-05:00

No camera in the world has a chance of catching my lightning speed backhand in focus.

The Serve.

2006-01-15T02:12:00.000-05:00

Even when I serve, the camera is not fast enough to catch my super-quick moves.

I'M IN A CULT

2006-01-15T01:54:00.000-05:00

Sorry I haven't blogged for a while. I joined a cult.

I play the xylophone in their band.
I've abandoned all my friends, family and clothes.
I don't need them now that I have my new family.
I enjoy being naked, my new hairdo, and giving all my
money and posessions to Nathaniel, our cult leader.
You guys should join.

Stand-up Show at Harvard

2006-01-10T02:45:00.000-05:00

This is me on stage at the historic Sanders Theatre located on the Harvard Campus. It was built in the 1800s. People such as Winston Churchill, Martin Luther King and Teddy Roosevelt have spoken there in the past. I told fart jokes.

Here's what a professional photo of what Sanders Theatre looks like. The place is so classy, it's spelled "theatre" not "theater". It was a great show. I was on it with several other comics. It was a benefit for the earthquake victims in Pakistan.
The statue to the side of the stage from where I'm sitting looks like Obi Wan Kenobi. But it's not. It's a statue that was made by Thomas Crawford of James Otis. Otis is depicted speaking in the old town house of Boston in February, 1761 against the British Writs of Assistance which empowered customs house officers to search any house for smuggled goods. (That is true, I cut and pasted the previous two sentences from the Harvard website).

DeVry Goes to Harvard

2006-01-10T02:43:00.000-05:00

This is me at Harvard Yard. I believe this is the first time a DeVry alumnus was ever invited to Harvard. For anything. I broke the barrier.

These Harvard pics are from December '05, but I'm just getting around to putting them up now.

Harvard Students

2006-01-10T02:31:00.000-05:00

This is Alex. She was one of the many students in charge of putting the whole show together. She is very cool, and enjoys a movie that's so bad, it's hilarious.

This is Jordan, he's another student who worked on putting the show together. I look especially retarded in this picture.
Both these pics were taken after the show. This is the first time a DeVry graduate has ever worn a Harvard sweatshirt. Setting records again.

Happy New Year!

2006-01-01T03:02:00.000-05:00

2006 is going to be great!

From my family to yours, Happy New Year!

Christmas Video

2006-01-01T02:51:00.000-05:00

In case you still haven't done your Holiday shopping, I have a video clip where I show you some great gadgets you can buy. Here, I Judah Friedlander, the world's most famous Gadget Guru, show Carson Daly how to operate the new Nosehair Trimmer/MP3 Player.

To watch this video, go to my website: judahfriedlander.com then click on VIDEOS on the main page then scroll down and click on JUDAH IS THE GADGET GURU to watch the video. Happy Holidays! There's still one more night of Hannukah & a few more days of Christmas. Note - this is a special Hannukah because it happens in '05 & '06.

DC IMPROV

2006-01-01T01:21:00.000-05:00

Here's some pics from after the show when I did an unannounced
guest spot at the DC Improv (in Washington, DC). I was giving a
top secret karate demonstration at the Pentagon, and at night
swung by the Improv to do some Stand-up. Met a lot of really
nice people. You got Angela, Jaime, Michelle and Mike. I think
Angela and Mike are married. Some of my bodyguards can be
seen in the background goofing off. There was no one at the
club that posed any threat - so I said, "Guys, take it easy". I
couldn't hang out too long that night because I had to go back
to the Pentagon and teach a midnight kung fu refresher course
to some top undercover FBI guys.

Clothes and Sports

2005-12-31T00:44:00.000-05:00

This photo and the next several photos will demonstrate
and give advice on the importance of wearing the
appropriate clothes for a particular athletic event
or competition. Being The World Champion, I decided
to share some of my knowledge with you.
This outfit is to be worn for a chess match only.
For other sports, these clothes maybe satisfactory,
but not optimum. For chess, it is optimum. If you go
into a chess tournament with a combination of these clothes
and this intense level of concentration, you will go home
with a very large chess trophy.

Morning Workout Clothes

2005-12-31T00:40:00.000-05:00

Prepared to train outdoors in any weather condition.

Lunch Break Clothes

2005-12-31T00:38:00.000-05:00

During lunch, wear clothes that are safe
to get dirty. Also, the camouflage patterns
can hide food that gets on clothes accidentally.

Video Arcade Game Clothes

2005-12-31T00:30:00.000-05:00

You dress like this and you will never lose
a Galaga tournament.

Mathlete

2005-12-31T00:27:00.000-05:00

Prepared for calculus and karate.
The calculator is in the mind.
The flying kick to the face is in the spirit.

Arm wrestling gear

2005-12-31T00:22:00.000-05:00

The inner "show no fear attitude" (your spirit)
must be matched with the outer
"show no fear" attitude (your clothes).
This is a crucial part to successful
arm wrestling that was never discussed
in the otherwise very true-to-life and
poignant motion picture "Over the Top".

Evening Workout Clothes

2005-12-31T00:13:00.000-05:00

Highly visible gear for safety.
