Sharing one about oneself can be quiet scary at times, and allowing others to get close to you to realize that your human can be terrifying. I believe in life that we are granted amazing friendships that we have the ability to make those lasting or short. In an actors life people come and go, the moment is so intense and then its gone. You try to hold on to this, wanting that special moment back but it is lost in time forever.I am not your typical guy, of course I'm sure everyone says that, but I have lived and seen a lot in my life, it will make for quiet a conversation.So, I guess this is the point where I share a little about me, to keep you reading. But how can you talk about yourself without sounding conceited? I don't really think you can. Well here we are in 2007 and so far what a year it has been...I'm an actor and singer and..hmm...what else am I? OH well who cares...I began acting and singing just as a way to come out of my shell and stop being so, what is the word, a loner? and well it just became a passion a desire within myself that I had to fulfill, I am not fully happy or complete unless I am filling this burning in me. I live in an amazing city and carry on like the urbanite I guess I am, as people say I'm geeky chic, whatever the hell that means.I enjoy entertaining people, making them laugh, cry, think, get scared, freaked out, pissing with delight or just sitting on the edge of the sanity...whichever comes to me at the time...I find myself drawn to the sundance, independant, short films, up and coming world, more than the mainstream hollywood films..., but I mean who doesn't want to be a part of RENT or WICKED or some new workshop musical and a top grossing Hollywood movie acting along side, Maggie and Jake?Acting is not my only passion though, I love to sing...if you had to fit me in a category, I guess you can say I'm more into indie music...yeah...that'll do pup...I've been told I look like a lot of people, Ben Stiller, Joseph Fiennes, and others...guess its the Jewishness in me and the Italian...I just see myself as a tall and lanky guy, a little too skinny if you ask me, but damn I can put away a cheeseburger, yeah I'm bringing Heroin Chic back without trying, and I know how to act....I have short brown hair, messy most of the time and I'm getting some silver...oh and my eyes are green-lately I have worn glasses which gives off a completely differnt vibe and sometimes I don't, so yeah sometimes I'm bumping into shit.I enjoy most things in life that others do, like walking, eating, breathing, sleeping, art, friends, music, the list goes on and on. I enjoy a lot of films and varies on what I'm into..and I absolutely love finding new music to be turned on to. I find my joy and excitement in roller coasters, a first date at a theme park, a kiss on a ferris wheel, and the look on the audiences faces when I have entertained them, be it with an acting performance or I sang them a little ditty...I always enjoy what is around the corner, always looking for the brightside of things.I enjoy drinking with my friends, watching some new comedy or film or art at a gallery, sharing good times with people, meeting new people that have interesting things to say. I don't really deal well with drama in my life anymore.My drinks of choice are Heineken Beer and a Rasberry Vodka and Diet Sprite for those that are offering! *wink*I created an Improv Troupe this year "Edge of Insanity" in my top 24 and they are freaking amazing....I'm Continuing my acting in film, and just enjoying my friends even more, trying to get into the gym, but yeah that ain't happening. I got the damn membership and its wasted most the time.
