I'M BACK !!! I'm taking the plunge again into the the inconsistant world of Entertainment. I will be leaving my safe harbor of full time / regular employment with benefits and guarenteed hours to go back to the joys of seasonal performer employment. I now officially work at 4 wonderful companies:
- Walt Disney World -
- Universal Studios Florida -
- Pirates Dinner Adventure -
- Sleuths Mystery Dinner Theatre -

The common thread among them all ... Im employed as an actor. That's right a working actor. No other title or position or what-not. Just back to my roots as an honest to goodness, street pounding actor looking for a shift !!!
I couldn't be happier. The Captain & Jose (Anislav)... "We Make Practice for the Show !!!"

Hey there
I'm a genuine Hillbilly Pirate Rockstar of sorts. It's a fine mix of simple country boy infused with a classical education. There are a few degrees and many scars to prove both.
Please allow me to elaborate, I am a professional actor (classicaly trained) and stunt performer (school of hard knock trained). Raised in a very, very small town in KY (that's the state not the Jelly). I lived in NYC for a few years where I got my theatre training at the National Shakespeare Conservatory (which isn't listed in the My Space Schools), my Actors' Equity card, a ton of Off and Off-Off B-way shows (even a Ballet Company for 3 Winter seasons) and a beautifully massive amount of great stories, memories and friends. Toured the country for a while and found some of the best food in each location.
I absolutely loved my small town with it's peace, quiet and safety equally as well as I love the fast paced action of NYC. Now I've got my eyes set on Hollywood (California) and / or possibly London (England) in the future.

Right now I'm in Orlando Florida and loving this town ... sometimes. Currently working some great jobs at Walt Disney World in Jack Sparrow's Pirate Tutorial, Universal Orlando in the Terminator 2 3-D Show (T-1000 stunt performer), Sleuths Mystery Dinner Theatre in four shows (Celestial Manor, Island for Sale, WKZY & Squires Inn) and as "Sherlock" an interactive host, and finally, I play two roles at Pirates Dinner Adventure as Captain Sebastian the Black & Mr. Magee where I swing from ropes, fight with a multitude of weapons and Sing very loudly & sometimes very well to boot !
Yo Ho Ho Baby !

As one of the highlights of my "Florida Dayz", in 2005 I gleefully insulted and ridiculed guests from a 20 foot scaffolding at Universal Studios Florida as their icon killer clown Jack for Halloween Horror Nights.

As far as me as a person, you might find that I'm very easy to talk to, trusting (in spite of living in NYC... and being an actor) and I don't bite... much... or very hard... but I do smile when I do. Had my heart broken a few times as well as my body but what the Hell. I live my life with laughter & passion, which causes as many problems as joys but if thats the price I pay not to idly sit by and watch life wander by, so friggin' be it.

Otherwise my friends are usually my heroes.My personal joke with the Dept. of Motor Viehicles = Car, TOBSTA - Truck, TOBSTR
