Movie and Television Soundtracks and Screen Appearances
Early appearances with Leon Redbone and A Prairie Home Companion and then lending his musical and acting talents to Francis Ford Coppola’s film "The Cotton Club", led to working with Dick Hyman’s Orchestra in half a dozen Woody Allen soundtracks, then acting as a bass player, most notably in Sean Penn’s band in Woody’s "Sweet And Lowdown". He and the band have been both onscreen and in the studio for Gus Van Sant’s film "Finding Forrester"; in Martin Scorsese’s "The Aviator"; and Sam Mendes’ film "Revolutionary Road". Other recording projects include soundtracks for Terry Zwigoff’s "Ghost World"; Tamara Jenkins’s "The Savages"; Robert De Niro’s film, "The Good Shepherd"; Sam Mendes’ "Away We Go"; Michael Mann’s film "Public Enemies", along with HBO’s – "Grey Gardens" and Todd Haynes’ HBO mini-series "Mildred Pierce". The Nighthawks were also featured as performers on Season Three of USA Network's "Royal Pains".

Famous quotes containing the words movie, television, screen and/or appearances:
“Each day a few more lies eat into the seed with which we are born, little institutional lies from the print of newspapers, the shock waves of television, and the sentimental cheats of the movie screen.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
“There was a girl who was running the traffic desk, and there was a woman who was on the overnight for radio as a producer, and my desk assistant was a woman. So when the world came to an end, we took over.”
—Marya McLaughlin, U.S. television newswoman. As quoted in Women in Television News, ch. 3, by Judith S. Gelfman (1976)
“She was custom built for the pictures—teeny tiny, one inch less than five foot, and a perfectly enormous head. Her face went right from one side of the screen to the other. Gloria Swanson was like that, as well. Joan Crawford, too. You need the big face, for the closeups.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
“It is doubtless wise, when a reform is introduced, to try to persuade the British public that it is not a reform at all; but appearances must be kept up to some extent at least.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
