About Me

Anyone that knows me at all would probably say I'm a stubborn, crass, sometimes funny, but usually annoying person who seems to be totally self-absorbed and pretty much doesn't care the tinker's cuss for anything or anyone else outside of his own realm of existence.Or, perhaps they'd say something about how I'm fiercely loyal, brutally honest, stubbornly passionate, surprisingly emotional, and a great guy to have around in case of a fight.Well, what I would say is; I'm a SAG actor and reforming musician who lives in the "hub" of the entertainment industry; Los Angeles. It's a tough gig trying to get a foot into the door of the business...but, there's nothing I love more in life than the creative process of acting and performing. Whether it's paying homage to already existing characters, doing impressions, or creating a character on my own...acting is something that fulfills me in a way that nothing else ever has. So, even though it seems that every day brings new rejections and that I hear the word "no" more now than I ever have before...I carry on with my quest in hopes of attaining my goal. Because every now and then I hear the word "yes", or I see someone smile, or I know "I nailed it". And that makes it all worth it.I want to be able to touch and inspire people in ways that all of my personal role models have inspired me. I want to be a part of something that's bigger than me. I want to have creative input into something that will be remembered...that will move someone to think...to cry...to laugh...to change their life. It's my passion...it's my goal...it's my life.I live with a beautiful, funny, brilliant woman who is my "rock". She keeps me centered and brings me back from the edge when anger or depression threatens to consume me. She helps me remember why I MUST carry on whenever I feel I can't. Everyday I look at her and think, "I don't deserve her"...and despite all of my failings and faults, all the things that make me so unbearable sometimes...EVERYDAY she chooses to look past those things, to see the good in me, to affirm the better parts of my soul, and she chooses to stay with me. And everyday I think of how lucky I am to have her in my life...how lucky I am to have found someone that will believe in me even when I cannot.So, I try to be more patient, more understanding, more accepting, more loving, more confident. I continue on the path towards my dream...because her efforts in this life have made it possible for me to do so. I can never give up...I owe it to myself...and to her.

My Interests

First and foremost, Jennifer's happiness. But, aside from that, I'm a dork. I'm a Star Wars geek. I also adore Star Trek. Some say it's not possible to love both...but, I'm living proof that it is. I worship the ground that Indiana Jones fictionally walks on, and I think that Spider-Man is the absolute coolest. I get excited at the prospect of Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees, and Michael Myers duking it out for psychotic supremacy. This gives you an idea of what kind of interests I have, right?I love acting, filmmaking, film scores, films of all kinds. I'm a bit of a sports buff and a Chicago homer; Go Cubs, Bulls, Bears, and Blackwaks! I love to exercise...and cracking the old bullwhip always does a body good. I enjoy a good read, I like to engage in heated debates, and I'm a fan of pretty much anything engaging in one way or another...especially a good, strong gin and tonic. All that and the fact that DENNY CRANE owns!Oh, and boobs. Boobs rock. So I can be a pig...so what? So sue me.

I'd like to meet:

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull - Trailer
..I would love to meet some of the people I most admire in this life; Harrison Ford, Michael Jordan, George Clooney, Patrick Stewart, Wes Craven, John Carpenter, Steven Spielberg, Johnny Depp. But, it's not enough to me to just meet them. I want to collaborate with them...share their passion for creating artistic entertainment...and be a part of something that will last forever.But if the question is referring to people I could potentially meet here on good ol' MySpace, I guess old friends and family is a great place to start. Also, anyone sharing aspirations and interests that are in any way similar to mine.

Music:

John Williams, The Beatles, Madonna, Jerry Goldsmith, The Chairman of the Board (Sinatra to you!), James Newton Howard, Dean Martin, Seal, Huey Lewis, Eric Clapton, Ben Folds, Christopher Young, Most 80's Rock, Danny Elfman, Beethoven, Mozart, Brahms, Garbage, No Doubt, Prince, Sting, the list goes on...and on...and on...

Movies:

It's difficult for me to choose favorite films. There are so many films that I absolutely adore. I love any films that are interesting, entertaining and well-made...and sometimes some films that are not so well-made but I still adore.I do know that my favorite film of all time is John Carpenter's "Halloween". That may cause some eyebrows to raise in skepticism, but, I don't care...it's still my favorite.I'd like to point out that there's a big difference between what my favorite films are and what I think are the greatest films ever made.Example...when someone asks me what my favorite Indiana Jones film is, I answer; "INDIANA JONES and the LAST CRUSADE". Some people respond to that by turning red, crapping their pants, and screaming out, "What? Better than 'Raiders'? Are you out of your mind?" To which I respond, "I never said that 'Crusade' was better than 'Raiders'. Obviously, 'Raiders' is a superior overall film to 'Crusade'. But, 'Crusade' is still my favorite of the three." Makes sense, right?I'm a huge horror buff; I absolutely adore the classic 80's slasher series; "Friday the 13th", "Halloween", and "A Nightmare on Elm Street".All that being said, here's a list of some of my favorite films; Vertigo, Back to the Future, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Star Wars - Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, The Godfather, Part II, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Spider-Man 2, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Schindler's List, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Caddyshack, Star Wars - Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, The Godfather, The Matrix, The Shawshank Redemption, Marx Brothers films (pretty much any of them!), Amadeus, As Good As It Gets, Casino, Sweeney Todd, It's a Wonderful Life, The Fugitive, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn. A huge list of faves, I know...but I love 'em all!

Television:

I love watching any of my three favorite Chicago sports teams on the tube;

As far as TV shows go; FRIENDS, Boston Legal, Star Trek: The Next Generation, The Simpsons, All in the Family, Roseanne, Family Guy, Seinfeld. I also enjoy the occassional viewing of that horrible 70's version of "Spider-Man". Ugh! It was soooo bad that it's good, baby!

Books:

Anything that sticks it to the Prez and his cronies...No, seriously, a good political read always interests me, unless it's by either Ann Coulter or Bill O'Reilly. Crackpots.

Heroes:

Well, first and foremost, there's INDIANA JONES. Batman's awesome, but Spider-Man is the all-time superhero badass. And I cannot forget to mention Dr. Sam Loomis.But seriously, my heroes are anyone who puts others before themselves on a consistent basis. I know it can't be done all the time, no one's that good or close to being that perfect. But anyone who tries to help their fellow mankind and usually acts in a logical manner in order to do what's best for their loved ones and the people whom their decisions affect...they're heroic enough for me! I also have the utmost respect for anyone that fights for those suffering from injustice, inequality and anyone who has the courage to stand for the truth and what is "right". If I really have to name names, well, the Dalai Lama is a good start. And Jennifer...I would be totally remiss if I didn't mention her. She's my true hero...
