My Acceptance Speech
Everybody that was involved with this show / movie, you know who you are, and you are all appreciated very much, but I have over 30 years of people to thank first.
In 2006, when I decided to go full steam ahead with performing, I wrote this speech as inspiration, that someday I would read it at a Tony, Emmy, or Academy Award. I promised myself I would read this so here it goes:
First I’d like to thank my ex-wife, Theresa and my boss at Burger King for 14 years, Eric. If I hadn’t lost my Marriage and my Career within a year, I never would have gotten into acting. I would like to thank those people that have made me who I am today and taught me what is funny: Both of my Grandfathers; My Godfather-Frank Rotella; The man who gave me either the best advice or worst advice I ever received, “Never to be afraid to say what’s on your mind”-Ross Heise; Two inspirations from my days in radio-Harry Teinowitz & Spike Manton; Brian Posen, Michael Pieper and Jason Flowers from the Second City in Chicago; Joe Tomaska for teaching me more than you know; My sister, Angie and my mother, Phyllis, for always being there for me. And finally, I’d like to thank the man who built me up when I was down and tore me down when I was high, The man who kept me grounded, The man who taught me the joys of acting, the man who all my life I didn’t want to be, and every time I tried that I became more like him than I like to admit. Dad, I love you…and this is for you.

ABC Family Announces Cast for "Dancing with Kids of the Stars"
Los Angeles, CA - Minutes after ABC announced the season 10 cast of “Dancing With The Stars”, ABC Family announced the cast for the first season of “Dancing with the Kids of the Stars.”
Miley Cyrus, the daughter of Season 4 dancer, Billy Ray Cyrus, headlines the cast that includes Jerry Springer’s daughter, Katie Springer and all eight children of Season 10 contestant, Kate Gosselin.
While she was never on the show, Katie Springer was mentioned many times on Season 3 as Jerry kept saying he wanted learn how to waltz for his daughter's wedding. The newlywed said she is coming on the show to learn how to bunny hop for her father’s retirement.
Since Kate will be dancing in the ABC mother ship, John Gosselin has agreed to take Cara, Madelyn, Alexis, Hannah, Aaden, Collin, Leah, and Joel to their daily rehearsals. John is just happy to be allowed to see his kids more than twice a month and said he will stay out of the spotlight…but we’ve heard this before.
The original lineup was to have the step son of Season 5 third place finisher, Marie Osmond, but due to unforeseen circumstances, Michel Blosil could not join the cast.
