If you can't set a good example the least you can do is serve as a horrible warning.

About Me

Actor/Writer. Moved from LA to NYC in 2004. Back in LA as of 2007. Music was my first love and I lived the dream while working as a staff writer for Rock City News and booking bands for the Red Light District at various LA clubs (the Whisky, The Roxy, Gazzarri's, Spice Club, Troubadour, Teazer, etc.) I've seen my share of talent and enjoyed every minute of my life around all those sweaty musicians and rock stars.ACTOR: COMPANY MEMBER OF STREET SCHOOL ARTIST COLLECTIVE (www.streetschoolart.org) - a rock n roll gang of actors. In LA I've studied at A Noise Within Conservatory, Stella Adler, The Groundlings, The Falcon Theatre and UCLA among others.In NY I was a member of The VoiceTheatre company.WRITER: My 1st (awesome) television pilot script (set in NY) is being shopped to producers. My 2nd (brilliant) pilot is finished and I'm working on a 3rd.I'm a published author looking for an agent to get my other 2 novels published. Both are fiction: one is contemporary and the other is humorous. Writing is like breathing but acting is where my passion really lives.Dream a little dream....Now,Ora gradirei un vetro di vino. Andiamo!

My Interests

MUSIC, acting, writing, dancing, black and white movies, travel, mind-benders/puzzles, crosswords, grape flavored things, reading, theatre, stretching myself as an artist. Kissing.

I'd like to meet:

Lauren Bacall. Marilyn Monroe (no rush on that), Steven Tyler again - the first time was just too embarrassing. Sarah Jessica Parker. Ricky Gervais. Michael Buble. Michael C. Hall. Oh, and NIKKI SIXX just one more time.

Music:

Since I love music there are too many faves to list. Always in heavy rotation on my mp3: Aerosmith, Michael Buble, Maroon 5, Van Halen, Bitter:Sweet, Sinatra, Touch and Go, and always Motley Crue.

Movies:

The Boondock Saints. Dangerous Beauty. GoodFellas.

Television:

Dexter. Nip/Tuck. The Office. Mad Men. The L Word.

Books:

The Brothers Karamazov, A Prayer For Owen Meany, Marley & Me, Are you there God? It's Me, Margaret, Boy Toy, The Witching Hour, The Extra Man, Calvin & Hobbes, The Assistant, The Vampire Lestat....way too many to list. I've got books to write and other things to do.

Heroes:

Honest, brave people (the ones who aren't afraid to take a risk or do what's right despite great odds and strong opposition). And, of course, Spongebob Squarepants.

Aloha

Unwritten

I'm trapped in writer's block HELL and I just can't crawl out. This is my last ditch effort - if I write (or rant) about having writer's block then maybe it will loosen that little lock on my creative...

No Sleep Till Brooklyn

Insomnia has plagued me since I was an angry teenager. My efforts to combat it have been only partially successful, depending on the circumstances. Moving back to LA has brought my insomnia back ...

Home Sweet Home, the Sequel

Cosmic forces have delayed my return to LA. Undoing everything for a cross-country move is tedious and taxing on the brain, but I think it'll be worth it. :) And hey, I'll get to spend one more ...

Andiamo!

I'm back from Italia and very sad about it. It was a whirlwind 8 day trip to Roma, Firenze, Lake Garda and Venezia. All beautiful and different. For 2 months I'd practiced my Italian and used it every...
