GOT IT MEMORIZED?

About Me

Originally born in Cleveland, Ohio, I grew up in a North Eastern suburb among great family and great friends. I attended BOWLING GREEN STATE UNIVERSITY and Graduated KENT STATE UNIVERSITY with Honors in TV/Radio/Film/Theatre. I formed and played in local rock bands in the Cleveland-Akron area as well as running sound under the direction of KIRK MAHARG. My wry wit enhanced my host position for an Alternative Video Music Program, (which pre-dated MTV's 120 Minutes), called, "The Alternate Beat", which was seen nationally. Los Angeles beckoned so I took the journey with my cousin and landed in Hollywood on North Argyle where things got so bad they put the Guardian Angels on our street. "Livin' the dream!" I've been a professional working actor for the last fifteen years and have been fortunate enough to perform on stages all over town. Whether it was stand-up at THE IMPROV and THE COMEDY STORE, or rockin' out at THE TROUBADOR, THE WHISKY or THE ROXY, I have lived out many a childhood dream and still do. After a test option deal with SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE! and some great gigs on JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE!, I began creating my own sketch comedy show, along with Co-creator and EMMY Award Winning Writer/Producer, JEFF NIMOY, to shoot and air "IN LIKE FLYNN!" It's time to make Hollywood "Hip" again and make Dean Martin proud. This is the greatest gig in the world and I'm grateful to be a part of this business we call show! Incidentally, JEFF & I enjoyed our NORTH AMERICAN Anime Tour which included: ACen Chicago, AN Toronto, AFO Orlando and many more. We had the best time ever! It was the greatest show on earth!! Q & A with Q & J! Check us out on YOU TUBE. The fans we met and new friends we made gave us so much gratitude for the work we do. Whether it's NARUTO, TRIGUN, ZATCH BELL, ADVENT CHILDREN, KINGDOM HEARTS 2, MGS2, FINAL FANTASY or the upcoming, DIGIMON, we saw how dreams could become a reality. "Dreams can come true, it can happen to you ... if you're young at heart." Stay young at heart. All the best, Quinton.

Some girls will thrill me and then go away. I need a lover that won't drive me crazy. Someone who knows the meaning of, 'Hey hit the highway' -- you betcha'!"](And, yes, it was John Cougar [pre-Mellencamp] who wrote and performed the original release of, "I Need A Lover." Pat Benetar recorded a fine but ultimately sub-standard cover that lacks inspiration and depth by comparison. Yeah, she's great. But this may well be Cougar's "Born To Run." In my opinion).
