I'm making headlines.....

About Me

And here's the official site.

My geekery knows no bounds.
I really wanted to dive in and write myself a nice, pretentious "About Me" section, but I don't have the energy. So, I'm an actor. My hope/wish is to continue working as one. I put everything I've got into any project I'm working on, and by God I get it done.
Huge geek here. Huge. I like to hang out with my dogs, pug and boxer/The alarm and the answer. The boxer, Brody, was discovered in a magical forest. The pug, Mad Max, was forged in the fires of Mount Doom. My hair grows faster than anyone else's. Bet me. If I can't get into a place in jeans and a t-shirt, I don't want to be there. I love doing theater, and I'm kick ass in musicals. Don't let that fool you though... I'll beat you down. Or the boxer will. I collect all things to do with The Atom (DC) although there unfortunately isn't that much. Regardless, I will continue to need it all. I'm a sucker for all sea monster's. And it doesn't really even have to be the "sea." Nor does it have to be a "monster." I'm not a writer, but I will have written a humdinger of a novel before too long. It will be loved, and hated, and people will want to know when the next one is coming, and it never will.
I like coffee. Regular coffee, not grande frappolas or iced mucho cappulatos or whatever the frig. I should play Ray Palmer in a movie that no one would go to see. If not, the Green Lantern (Hal) and/or Plastic Man in films of the respective characters will do. I just should.My resume is interesting enough. I've gotten the boot from my apartment and couch surfed for the meaning of life. I've stirred up trouble in River City, climbed my way to the top of the corporate ladder, and met Picasso and Elvis in the same bar. Sat in a patch waiting for the Great Pumpkin, led obnoxious children through a chocolate factory, and helped Fiorello Laguardia reach the top. I've swapped wives with an enemy, and pawned one off on the severely depressed. I've fired shots at a Romanian Barbarian in a movie theater, only to have him literally split me in half with a sword seconds after complaing about the film that was playing. I have had a battle of wits with the Chocolate Soldier, solved the crime of a murdering husband/ex-tennis pro, made a bet with my ego and begged lady luck to stay by my side. And of course there was that time I was a bastard fisherman who bought the farm and came back as a gloopy mess of undead goodness.

My Interests

Horror movies, good movies. Globsters, The Atom, Rodan, Ebirah. Baseball! Tampa Bay Rays, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (although I've never lived in Tampa Bay, or even close to Florida)Assorted music, particularly 80's and punk.

I'd like to meet:

Nerds
Melanie Daniels
People who alphabetize their movie lists.
Those who occasionally go to the movies alone, despite the social meltdown it may cause.

Those who send heartfelt and genuine messages such as, "u r hot."
Other great hits include "wut r u doin" and the one that never fails to reel me in: "sup"
