Shevin, who has also appeared in dozens of TV commercials, began in March with a scene from Casino. He calls this endeavor "Inside the Actor's Quarantined Apartment," and gives major credit to Ricky for the project's success. "He's proof that you actually can teach an old dog new tricks. I've got him wearing wardrobe and wigs, and he's reacting on camera in ways that amaze me. I've become a Hollywood dad."

The dog's effort does not go uncompensated. "The second I yell 'cut,' Ricky heads right to the kitchen for a treat," says Shevin. "He knows his worth."

Matt is available to discuss his videos via phone and video. Ricky as well.
