About Me

"A tall drink of water". I'm a midwestern native (St. Louis) who moved out here for school in 1999 and hasn't left since. Yes, also another actor in LA . What else can I say other than the usual junk like "laid back, friendly, funny, mama's boy", etc? I'm me, you're you. Maybe you will like me, maybe I won't like you. I'm always willing to find out either way.

My Interests

All kinds of music, Hockey (playing and watching), sleeping in, going to shows, acting, movie nights, cooking, the warm drunkenness that comes from too much red wine (that's amore!), bars where I don't have to elbow someone to get a drink, an occasional game of pool, reading the news, Salvador Dali, long hot showers, thunderstorms, cookies and milk, frisbee golf, singing in the shower, natural highs, cruising in a convertible, sitting by pools, the moans that come from a good back rub, having my head scratched lightly, spooning, ironing (i find it therapeutic), and of course, wasting time on the internet.

I'd like to meet:

The head of the City of Los Angeles Parking Enforcement Division (in a dark alley with a baseball bat) and people who are takin' it one day at a time.

Music:

I listen to all kinds, but here's a sample:

Movies:

Big Lebowski, Clerks, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Run Lola Run, Goodfellas, Miller's Crossing, American Beauty, Shaun of the Dead, Fight Club, As Good As It Gets, Scarface, Fargo, Friday, LA Confidential, Army of Darkness, The Gods Must Be Crazy, Usual Suspects, Super Troopers, Fletch, Boiler Room, Memento, Caddyshack, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, True Romance, Edward Scissorhands, Trainspotting and many many more.

Television:

Hockey games , Heroes, Rescue Me, Entourage, Sopranos, Dexter, The Riches, Lost, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, 60 Minutes, and probably too much CNN.

Books:

Celestine Prophecy, The Four Agreements (yep, a new age nerd), The Orion Mystery, The Alchemist, Shogun, Tao of Pooh, Tao te Ching, Twenty-Something, The Comedy Writer, The Corrections, Michael Crichton's Travels, Into the Wild, Breaking Open the Head, Journey to Ixtlan.

Ramblings of a Romantic Fool

Is it me or is love pretty much taboo in this town?  People seem scared to death of needing anyone.  I suppose it's because so many people are here to pursue their dream, and at some point o...

distractions...

I've managed to do exactly what I feared I would end up doing once I became single.  Rather than focus on acting, work, and basically the things that make my life feel really fulfilling, I've spi...
