About Me

I'm a New Yorker who has been in LA for three years. I'm an actor and a writer. This past year I performed in over 100 performances of Del Shores' "Southern Baptist Sissies." We had an 8 month run at the Zephyr Theatre in Hollywood and then embarked on a National Tour in August, eventually playing to over 15,000 people. We're shooting the film version of "Sissies" this Spring so keep an eye out for it in theatres in fall 2007. I also went to the Oscars in March, saw the Madonna Concert in Tokyo in Septmeber and became an Uncle on December 5th! It was a great year... In fact, every year for the past 10 years or so I have looked back at the end of it and said "that was the best year of my life." I'm a pretty lucky guy... I'm a Democrat, a thinker, a passionate debater, a world traveler, a Taurus, a family man, a tennis fan, an avid reader, a yoga enthusiast, and a guy whose favorite city is Amsterdam. I've got a good head on my shoulders and a good heart. I'm the real deal...
