The Music was like Electric Sugar

About Me

I'm an actor. I'm also a musician and a singer. Now, I know a lot of people SAY they're actors and musicians, and singers; but ARE, in actuality, waiters, bartenders, cubicle warriors, etc.(I've always been of the opinion that if more of your income comes from your dayjob then from your art, then your art is a hobby, not a profession, and your dayjob is what you do for a living. "You are not your dayjob. You're not your fucking khakis. You are the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world" -TD) But somehow.....................I'm actually doing it. I've somehow managed to avoid the dreaded dayjob and make a living as an actor and musician for the past ten years. .....................................It's a mystery..................................... I play the guitar (electric and acoustic), violin, cello, mandolin, banjo, and harmonica. Thus far, almost all of my work has been on the stage (and almost all of that has been Shakespeare), but I've just recently begun my first forays into film. I dig it. MySpace Layouts
