About Me

The easiest way to describe me is that I am an "iconoclast." Webster's New Universal Unabridged Dictionary defines an iconoclast as "one who makes attacks upon cherished beliefs; one who attacks or ridicules traditional or venerated institutions or ideas regarded by him as erroneous or based on superstition." I am rather firm in my conclusion that roughly 95% of people are only average (or worse), that 4% are average with an asterisk, and the upper 1% runs the gamut from above average to terrific. I look for and treasure people who are in that top 5%, from above average to excellent in intelligence, character and expression. I'm an actor and sometime writer rather obsessed by the struggle for excellence in any human endeavor. In my case, apart from my work, I'm a rather hard-core James Bond fan (it's my mother's fault, taking me to see "Thunderball" when I was 5), love the theater (both musical and non-musical, especially the work of Tom Stoppard and Stephen Sondheim), generally admire the performing arts in all its iterations, and am fascinated by Chaos Theory (in my view mathematical proof of Karma), quantum physics and cultural anthropology. I'm also occasionally somewhat political, as I used to work for Greenpeace. As my profile indicates, I am quite frankly not about to get married again unless somehow I get pregnant. As Michaelangelo said, "I have too much of a wife in this art of mine, and my children will be the works I leave behind." In the meantime I'm working on 2 screenplays and 1 stageplay. I would love to find a kindred spirit to share conversations, opinions and conclusions with (actually, more than one kindred spirit would be even better) and, should that sharing lead to romance, I am open to the inherent possibilities therein.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Mariska Hargitay, a fine and beautiful actor if there ever was one. I already count Steve Sondheim, Len Cariou, Ralph Nader and Lori Wallach amongst my friends. I'd be fascinated to meet Vasclav Havel and Barrack Obama. I would also enjoy sharing observations and insights with Anthony Hopkins, Alec Baldwin (but not his brothers), Robert Rodriguez and Nassim Nicholas Taleb.

Realistic Romanticism

Being in love is a powerful experience unlike anything else. It's an altered state in which people think and act very differently than usual. Some people never get to experience it, but many of us do...

Rampaging Monster with a Twist

The new film Cloverfield is, almost beyond description, magnificent.   Understand that it's not so much a "horror movie" as it is that potentially delightful/godawful subcategory "giant monster o...

Perpetuating Fear

Just as there is an ecology of the natural world, so too there is an ecology of the man-made world of mental abstractions, ideas and thought. Within our culture, ideas constantly rise and fall. For a...

Not Your Usual Global Warming Diatribe

As many of you know, I used to work (very proudly) for Greenpeace. I should have been delighted that even someone as congenitally dense as George W. Bush could finally grasp the concept of global war...
