As a child... I thought that Lily Tomlin and Mick Jagger were the same person. What else have I mixe

About Me

My Union (Screen Actor's Guild) calls me an "Actor". I call myself a "Fleshy Prop" (a "Pause-Button Hero"). At this point my description is more accurate. This is not "low self-esteem", this is a confident sense of humor about myself. A lot of people in my line of work are so serious and stuck on themselves. I'm just not that way. There is nothing wrong with being humble. There are folks who are searching for cures (although when they get close, their funding is usually cut back because there is more money in treatment than in cures) who are not uptight, so why should anyone else? Frankly, my inspiration to become an actor was not from "Shakesphere" or some 'hoiytee toytie' play; It was "The Monkees", "The Three Stooges" and Sherman Hemsley.I thought that the best way to succeed was to help others in their endeavors, however, I'd found that in doing that, I've ended-up broke and without. I'm playing the hand that I was delt better than anyone can. I've learned that you cannot MAKE people do things for their own sake. They will only see you as an annoyance. My new resolve is to not "fight" anyone in order to do them a favor (That is, outside of family... because YOU KNOW how that goes **puh-LEEEEASE** but even THEY have another thing comming).

My Interests

I am interested in "Why?". While I do not have the aptitude to be a physicist, I often wonder about this whole "String Theory" thing and how it correlates with Nikola Tesla's work. The whole "vibration thing" and multiplying matter - Perhaps we are touching on the method that Jesus used when he multiplied the seven fish and loaves of bread, to feed the multitude. He did say that we would be able to do "all of these things and more". Perhaps we are at the threshold of such knowledge and abilities. From what I've read, so far, I am convinced that technology has to catch up to The Bible before we can fully understand a lot of things in there. For instance: In the book of "Revelation" it was reported that 2 people would be beaten in the streets and that all the eyes of the world would watch at the same time. A hundred years ago this would be ridiculous but with the advent of satelite technology, this is possible. Another exhample is "The Ark of The Covenant". It was reported that upon touching it, a man was struck down. If you read the detailed schematics of how it was constructed, any electrician can tell you that it is an electric capacitor.

I'd like to meet:

HOT Myspace Layouts

Music:

Since "My Space" I'd been introduced to Great new music, thank's to the people that I had met (you know who you are), other than the new stuff, that I have yet to familiarize myself with, I like stuff that I grew-up on: "U2", "Beatles" (and Beatle Clones; like "The Grays", "Oasis" etc.), "David Bowie" (more so conceptually), "Lou Reed", "Roxi Music" / "Faces" clones( like "Duran Duran", "Cars" etc.) Stewart Copeland (especially when writing), "Better Than Ezra". I was a big "Adam and the Ants" fan back in high school. My niece found a video of them in my collection and she now likes them as well (she's such a cool kid!). "INXS" (early work) "Rolling Stones", "Tom Petty and the Heart breakers" KICKS ASS!; as do "The Pretenders" and "Greenday" and, OH YEAH!, "The James Gang" and "The Who". By the way: Michael Nesmith is a bona-fide muscician! A Geneous! That's no joke. Yeah!, I'm a "Monkees" fan.... so what? It's good stuff.

Movies:

The idea of "Into The Wild" was nice. It kind of disturbed me, though. "Forest Gump" was good, as was "It's a Wonderful Life", "The Man Who Fell To Earth", "Jennifer On My Mind", "A Boy And His Dog". "Les Miserables (1935 version with Fredric March and Charels Laughton)" "Doctor Zhivago" has got to be one of my all time favorites too; it's the only incident where I could feel empathy for an adulterer. Anything by "R.K.O. Radio Pictures" is usually good. Ever since I started "acting" I haven't been to the movies. Strange but true.

Television:

Gotta love "Seoul 1945" and other South Korean Dramas like "My Sweetheart My Darling", "The Bizarre Bunch", "Pure in Heart / Hearts of 19",; they just have more class than most other stuff that you see. I also enjoy classics like: Malcolm in the Middle, Magnum P.I., Chicago Hope (with Dr. Gieger), Picket Fences, Hawaii Five-0, The Monkees (yes, still. I gave my niece the DVD box set for Christmas. My brother in-law asked with a smile: "Now, was that for her or for you?"), That 70's Show. At least The Simpsons are still going. Family Guy is funny but they usually manage to spoil it with blaspheme. In Touch - with Charels Stanley, Democracy NOW! is probably the best news magazine at the moment. I love the truth (it gets me all mushy inside) and I dig the way the hostess (Amy Goodman) looks like Ayn Rand. Anything that Bill Moyers does; he is a good man/journalist. Frontline is good... real good. I refuse to watch Nightline anymore because they hired that jerk that tried to make Michael Jackson look like a child molester. C'mon, if he did it, don't you think that there would be incriminating pictures? There are so many "Paparazzi" photographers all over the world. There are places in the world where having sex with children is offered and encouraged. All a photographer would have to do is find a hotel worker that wants a cut of millions of dollars and plant a camera in Mr. Jacksons hotel room. The picture would be all over the A.P. wire instantly. So, why is there no such picture? Because he's innocent, that's why.

Books:

Currently, I'm still reading The Bible. "Atlas Shrugged" was good, as was "The Fountainhead". " Horse's Neck" by Pete Townsen (yeah, THAT Pete Townsen) was really good. It's out of print but if you happen by a copy of it, BUY IT! You won't be sorry. It coinsides with the Who album "It's Hard". "Catcher in the Rye" was good too but I still can't see the corelation between it and assassination attempts.

Heroes:

Of course, Our Lord and Savior: Jesus Christ; although, according to His standards, I have a jealous heart and therefore He is against me. I have tried to do things His way but in this world it proves me to be foolish. As for here on Earth: Dr. Robert Fry. He and his team saved my life. He and his wife actually cut their Italian vacation short just to fly back to the States to save me... and he never even met me before. If you or anyone you know suffers from Ulcerative Colitis or I.B.S. find him. He can help you. He is the best surgeon in the country and he is a good man.
