WHAT’S NEW IN WITZKE’S WORLD
2019 -- it's been a busy year. #grateful
I have been so busy that I have to recap the work year in pictures! Always blessed and honored and grateful to get paid to do what I love to do!!!
THE BEST PHRASE YOUR AGENT CAN SAY IS -
"You are being offered a role. Would you like to shoot a TV show tomorrow?"
Had a blast working on a new Quibi show called DUMMY starring the amazing Anna Kendrick!
SPRING CLEANING - (very late... like end of summer) resulted in the recycling of many, many, many old headshots.
Ahhh - youth!
Another year doing The Blank's Young Playwrights Festival. This one was special!
Haning on the set of JANE THE VIRGIN! What a great time with wonderful people!
2020 -- The Curse of COVID
Damn you COVID! Now it is super personal.
Right before everything shut down, I was cast as of one of my childhood idols and a tv icon. I was to play JOHNNY CARSON opposite Milo Ventimiglia as Evel Knievel in an awesome scene in a USA mini-series. Great script. Awesome cast. And a dream come true. I had my costume fitting and they found THE perfect outfit. But —they have just announced it is a casualty of the shutdown and is being scrapped. I know times are tough for all, and parts come and go. Some work out and others don’t.
This one just stings a little deeper.

Even made it into the Promo for the episode!!
A reunion that has been Up In The Air for a decade
After 10 years... and thousands of fans asking for Jeff Witzke and Anna Kendrick to be in a project again -- and their wish was granted. It was fun to play with Anna (who totally remembered me from our days hanging out (but enver in the same scene) in Up In The Air. We had fun... while we both acted with an actriss who was a bit stiff... and lost her head!
I was in the final scene of the final episode. Hopefully you cuaght it... before Quibi went away.
HEEEEEEERE's JOHNNY!
At last... the video game I was a part of last year is coming out... and they just released the trailer - and it starts WITH ME!
My dream role was taken away at the start of Covid... but the Universe has a way of providing and I was able to play one of my idols!!!
MR. WILLY WONKA!
My Pandemic Passion Project: Writing / Recording / Self-producing 3 Episodes of a narrative podcast! This has been an idea in my head for 20 years... so I decided to write the first 3 (of 12) episodes and make them. My version of the story of how Willy Wonka found the Oopma Loompas before he brought them back to his chocolate factor. They are available whereever you listen to your podcasts. I am VERY proud of them and could not have done it without the help of my amazing friends.
