Biography

Working mainly in live theatre on Off-Broadway, in Europe, and at regional theatre across the country, I acted in a series of karaoke videos still shown today in bars across America until my first legitimate TV role in soap operas as an under -5 on All My Children, which led to roles on One Life to Live and his breakthrough part, a Recurring Role on Guiding Light, opposite Morgan England. Upon moving to Arizona in 1990, my real TV series debut was a Guest Starring role opposite Jennifer Hetrick and John De Lancie in the western TV series Young Riders in 1992. Since then I have appeared in numerous independent films, commercials, industrial training films for corporations, voice overs, and has performed in over 50 live theatre productions including his one-man show on Barry Goldwater, Mr. Conservative. I taught theatre and film at the high school and college levels for almost 30 years. I am an engaged, intelligent, commanding presence. My essence is that of an empathetic psychologist, a tenured professor, or a wise, bearded fisherman who can play a vast range...from Stoic British Royalty to Articulate Criminal Mastermind to Trenchcoated or Tailcoated Charming Bad Ass in any Historic Action/Adventure. I have the dynamic range and "old soul" persona of Bryan Cranston meets the charismatic charm and multi-hyphenate talent of the silver fox, George Clooney.
