About Me

American actor, SAG / AFTRA
Yah, acting. Eight o'clock curtain. In the wings, about to go on . . . Loafing in the dressing room after the show. Indie, big feature. On location or in the studio. S'in the blood.
Update: The Church just came out on Amazon, and is available at WalMart, Target and bookstores !
Other projects in the works; some Edgar Allen Poe, some sc-ifi, and another All My Children aired on April 7 - thanks for tuning in !
2007 cranked along with a steady flow of current and committed future projects.
Wrapped production in late December on One-Eyed Horse, a Western (see trailer, below), playing Creed Logan, a smart and mean bad guy.
Went right into rehearsals, back up on stage, in Off The Map (which ran through February 18) in Baltimore, at the Fells Point Corner Theater, while shooting the role of a Detective in the Baltimore-based thriller, Good People.
So its been brisk over the last year . . . Wrapping the Indie feature, The Sins of the Fathers, playing a psychiatrist investigating a woman's struggle with madness. This film was beautifully shot over three seasons of weather in northern Maryland's farmlands. And The Devil's Blind, in which I am a priest who must play a very special hand in this suspense.
In the spring of 2007 I shot another couple of All My Children episodes, and did a scene with Nic Cage in his latest, National Treasure 2: The Book of Secrets (trailer below), now in release and doing very good B.O.
Other good news . . . . The Bronze Door, our Raymond Chandler supernatural suspense, had its premier screening on July 21 in Washington, D.C. It will now go into festival rotation. See clip, below.One Down, the hot and brooding noir Indie we shot in Balto last year, has finished post and the original music in the score is awesome !
There are several other projects are on the verge of commitment too. So it is a wonderfully busy time . . . Thanks to all the talented casting pros, directors and producers who have selected me to work with them.
There was no slackin' in 2006 either !
Did a part on All My Children - I married Kendall and Zach during Sweeps ! Then jumped into the lead role in The Church, the exciting feature film, now out on DVD.
