    The trailer for the film The Switch is out!

    See it here:

    Also, check out the film’s website:

    In the film, I was the stand-in for Jason Bateman. In the trailer, you’ll see my feet in the beginning (sperm rains down on them–not as bad as it sounds). You’ll also see my hand holding the white cup toward the middle.

    So excited! The film is out August 20th, 2010.

    I just heard word today that The Baster, the romantic comedy for which I stood in for Jason Bateman, has officially changed its name to The Switch. This sounds like a better, more pronounceable (!) name for the film. Simple and brilliant!

    I need to get around to updating my website’s references to The Baster so they’re now The Switch.

    For more information on the film, with a projected release date of August 20th, 2010, in the USA, click below:

    Note: The Baster has been retitled. It is now called The Switch!

    I just now logged in to the Internet Movie Database page for The Baster, a film on which I worked last spring as Jason Bateman’s stand-in.

    It has been about 7 months and for some reason after repeated attempts, the IMDb wasn’t accepting my credit for working on the film, despite being on set for all 39 days of shooting in NYC. But I now see that my credit has finally been accepted!

    Also, the film now has a release date in the U.S. for August 20, 2010. So interesting that The Bounty, a Jennifer Aniston film shot after The Baster wrapped, is coming out before it!

    I’ve created a short URL that will take you directly to the IMDb page for The Baster. Type it in when you want to know information about the film:
