About Me

I'm a single 42 year old actor living in New York City. I am a member of Actors Equity Association and the Screen Actors Guild,which both took a very long time for me to join. I began studying as an actor as far back as high school which was, if you read above, back in the early 1980's. I have over 25 years experience as an actor/performer. Recently,I have been doing background and stand in work on the ABC television series "SIX DEGREES". I would like to thank Erin at Amerifilm Casting for the work. I love the process of acting whether it's for the stage or film. I have also created a drag character,Michelle Xavier, which I have performed in drag in both stage and film. If you would like to see and know more, you may find the Michelle Xavier persona on myspace at http://www.myspace.com/michellexavier. You may find more about me as an actor on my profile at Casting Networks.com in their New York division. And, I can't figure out how to download photos, so if someone could help, I would greatly appreciate it.

My Interests

Performing on stage and screen as well as sports.

I'd like to meet:

This is primarliy for me a professional site, so I won't discuss my personal life. This is open for all people who are in the entertainment field, mainly acting, direction and production. If this is your interest, please feel free to contact me.

Music:

I enjoy many kinds of music,except rap and hip hop. I have a soft spot for The Beatles. "Sgt.Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" is my all time favorite album.

Movies:

I have many favorites, from the Lord of the Rings series,the Star Wars series,dramas,comedies,Westerns,etc. My favorite,however,is "Dances With Wolves",due mainly because of its sensitive portrayal of Native Americans as true human beings.

Television:

I enjoy classic shows such as Star Trek, All In The Family, Superman, I Love Lucy and others. Current favorites are the Law & Order, and CSI series, as well as New York Yankees baseball when the season is in full swing.

Books:

Favorites include The Lord of the Rings trilogy,the Left Behind series,Robert B. Parkers' Spenser series,biographies and autobiographies,The Chronicles of Narnia, and, of course,The Holy Bible.

Heroes:

Too many to count, but, I can say I admire people such as Martin Luther King,Jr.,Reggie Jackson(baseball),Barnard Hughes(actor), and number 1 is Jesus Christ.
