About Me

I'm a full-time actor, which means I have no social life because I can't afford it-- except when I convince myself that going out with some good friends, getting some good food and some even better wine is absolutely necessary.I like good food (hard to come by), good friends (even harder to come by), and good wine. And a little Hoe now and then (that's Hoegardden).
