Biography

Acting professionally since 1965, Doug has been associated with Atlanta's Shakespeare Tavern since 1986, and is a member of their Senior Acting Company. He has received two nominations for Atlanta's Suzi Bass Awards, given for excellence in professional theatre - for Shylock in "The Merchant Of Venice" and for Candy in "Of Mice And Men". He is the REAL Santa in "Santa's Boot Camp" (2016), and has done many TV and radio commercials over the years, including writing, producing, directing and starring in a dozen while still in high school. He has appeared in several 48 Hour Film Project films, including leads in "The Bridge" (2016), "Dream, Doctor Dream" (2014), "Deuce Ex Machina" (2012) and "The Untitled Richard Meyer Project" (2009). He also writes stories and verse, is the author of an adaptation of Aristophanes' "The Frogs", and collaborated with Thomas E. Fuller on the musical parodies "Sherlock Holmes and the Crime of the Century" and "The Kiss Of Dracula". His poem, "The Dog Who Would Not Bark" has been made into a video short, and will hopefully soon translate to a picture book. His narration of three of his "Santa" poems were featured in The Shakespeare Tavern's Virtual Christmas in 2020. He is not the sound technician of the same name.
