About Me

Well, let's see — the mundane standard stuff:
I'm an actor-writer-director-acting coach (and sometime musician, although there are those who would argue the point — mostly my talented musician friends). I have a rather twisted sense of humor and prefer nothing more than the sound of laughter. On the other hand, I can also be quiet and incredibly serious (though this is a side of myself I don't show to everybody). I take my art fairly seriously, although I like to have lots of fun doing it. I'm also head over heels in love with my wife who loves and adores me for the kinky slut I am (which really helps make for a great marriage). I also have a deep sense of political equity, fairness and justice that requires me to disdain the radical and religious right, and pray that the Democrats get off their sorry asses and start embracing progressive policies instead of trying to be Republican-lite. Other than that, I am also a die-hard fan of the NY Yankees — baseball is my sport! And New York City is my town!

I'd like to meet:

Human beings. Actors, acting students. Members of alternative lifestyle communities (especially the spanking and BDSM scene). other liberals and progressive Democrats.

Music:

I'm a classic rock kinda guy. Favorites include (but are certainly not limited to): The Beatles, The Guess Who, The Who, The Moody Blues, Led Zeppelin, Yes, Queen, Three Dog Night, Chicago, Little River Band, Harry Nilsson.

Movies:

Well, before I start with the films I love to watch (over and over), two of my favorites are Player's Joy (filmed live in performance — I directed it for the stage), and the erotic film The Line Between, which I wrote and directed. Otherwise, The Producers, Where's Poppa, A Night At the Opera, Better Than Chocolate, Annie Hall, Love Actually, Hedwig and the Angry Inch (I am nothing if not eclectic!), Animal Crackers, Bringing Up Baby, My Favorite Year, Dogma, Shakespeare In Love, Shrek (1 & 2), It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World, and far too many others.

Television:

Favorites: The Daily Show, The West Wing, Scrubs, The L Word and Deadwood (and I would've added The Book of Daniel to the list if the suits at NBC weren't such a gutless bunch of pussies). Guilty Pleasures: Battlestar Galactica, and both Stargate series.

Books:

Illusions; The Ethical Slut; Rush Limbaugh Is A Big Fat Idiot, Stranger In A Strange Land; The Mists of Avalon; Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look At the Right;

Heroes:

My father, the late Albert E. Marten; my soulmate, Tanya (and her alter ego, the alluring Tasha Lee), and Patrick Henry and John Lennon, neither of whom took shit from anyone.
