His most recent work is Law n Order with scenes with Ice T and Molly Burnett for the "Bubble Wrap" episode where he portrays a gangster. He just filmed an episode with director Michael Patrick King for the heralded "Sex and the City" reboot, "And Just Like That" on HBO Max.

Foxy And Louis
As the New Year dawns, I take with me not only hope and ambition but also the spirit of my beloved Foxy (she passed recently). She showed me that time is our most valuable asset - far more than money or achievement ever can be. No matter how old we get, it's often through personal distress – or learning from others’ mistakes– that we discover what truly matters in life.
Few experiences in life can equal the sheer bliss of being truly present with a beloved pet or person. In such moments, we share an immeasurable sense of oneness and calm that offers us completeness - something so precious it cannot be bought nor returned once gone. Cherish those seconds: for they will count forever.
When it comes to unconditional love, Foxy left me in awe. During her time with me - especially while she was sick - I felt a bond that only deepened when I showed her the care and attention all of us should try to bring out for our loved ones. She had more love than anything (or anyone) else around – except perhaps my mom! Although these moments were precious beyond words, this experience taught me something invaluable: you can end up loving someone else even more profoundly than yourself.
Nurture your loved ones, furry friends and family like there's no tomorrow - don't let the small screen take away from quality moments shared. Don't get side tracked by mindless patterning or career ambitions; life is far too short to keep that Insta Dm on lock-down! Put down the phone and pick up a smile instead – it’s time we remember that our days are numbered, so make sure you spend them with those special people (and animals) who just can’t wait for some of your love.
Do good for the world and its living creatures by contributing and helping others. The tinder swiping and Saturday night date plans can wait, your family needs you. That Snapchat notification that will eat up your next 30 minutes, just stole precious play time away from your lovely dog who has been staring aimlessly through your hand on your tightly gripped phone. Get the ball and throw it for her.
Most of all, take the cue of the universe and it's signs. It's whispering gently in your ear. That is the wind of change and it's trying to blow but you keep getting in the way. The goodness of your inner nature surrounds you and also resides in you. Welcome it and accept it. The world is waiting to recapture your attention. Your heart is begging you to slow down and notice the "gaps".
Usually the beings closest to you are the ones trying to guide you in the right direction. And those same beings usually need your help. It can be your mom, your brother, friend, or cat or dog. Notice the stillness, the warmth, and inner peace that sparks in you when you can help them or simply talk with them…
that is happiness.
I LOVE YOU FOXY. God bless your little soul in dog heaven. That is the lesson you taught me.
