About Me

Layout by CoolChaser

Film and stage actor... and no I'm not being type cast as a zombie! ... or a nerd ;)
I've been performing since the mid to late 80's in murder mysteries, classic plays, bedroom farces, musicals and original works in Sacramento and the Sierra Foothills. The last play that I performed in was the wonderfully wacky murder novel spoof Out of Site...Out of Murder in which I played the lead, Peter Knight.
I started doing film work a little over two years ago. I most recently played a small role in The Bill Collector.
Some of my previous roles include an Infected in FREEDOM FALL, a zombie in THE BEGINNING , an International Investor in SLAM TRAIN , a Crypto Zoologist in SAWTOOTH , a British Reporter in LUNATIC MESSIAH , a zombie in RAISE THE DEAD and a Curator in DAGGER OF TARDEN (both part of Whispers and Shadows), a Gangster (who gets shot) in Trash Film Orgy's MONSTER FROM BIKINI BEACH , and a Nerd in the hyphy music video GHOST RIDE IT (Mistah FAB) and BINGORAMA! .

In my "other" life I work for the Department of Forestry , hike, camp, travel, take lots of photographs, hang in midtown, wander on the beach whenever I get the chance and stare at the moon and try to figure out what I want to be when I grow up :) (if I truly ever do...)
