It seems important to begin with this: I can be in your office within a day. I live in the west, near Denver. With the Denver International Airport a quick drive away, I can land in any town and state with ease, including Los Angeles, New York, Atlanta, Albuquerque, Chicago, Houston, etc... In L.A., Between bookings I currently (2022-2023) take continuous weekly scene study classes at MY Acting Studios in Hollywood, with Michael Yavneili, flying in once a month to do the work on stage. Our scenes, usually from plays, average 10 - 15 pages. So a co-star, or a 10 page film support role is very doable.

Yes, I'm fully vaccinated and boosted.

I started studying acting as we all do, watching tv and movies. This sitcoms, the dramedies, comedians, they were all my favorites. From Danny Kay and Lucille Ball to the Munsters and Mash. My wife and I can't study enough Big Bang Theory or Everyone Loves Raymond. The acting, writing, directing. The intention. The connection with their different audiences. They're co-star and guest star lines. My studies also include the Beverly Hills Playhouse, some improv at The Comedy Connection. Years of study for the camera with Peter Valentine in Hollywood.

Live Zoom and self taped auditions are wonderful. The challenge is, can you work through the lens for casting? If I can do that, I'm doing my job. Live, in room auditions are wonderful. Yep, I remember those. I'm the guy who comes into the audition with an opinion, and thrives on direction, play, discovery. I'm the improv dude. Let's tell the story.

It wouldn't surprise anyone who knows me, to see me pop up in a sitcom or a romantic comedy. It's in the marrow of my persona. I'm a people person, curious, and overtly professional on set. Then again, I shop in a hardware store, see something, say something and the cashier cracks up. I meet a stranger on the street, see something, say something, that person cracks up. In networking events, in family gatherings, in elevators. Improv. In the moment. It's me. It's my eyebrows, my sense of timing. Who knows. But this is the product you're considering. Hey, you read this far.

So casting: I'm the beta male, nice guy. The "Gee, what did I say?" guy. The tough, stern looking - powder puff guy. Empathetic while evil (should be my t-shirt) guy. Melting while teaching the high school physics class. That's me. It's my casting. It's consistent. It's the core of my passion for acting.

More? Okay:

NCIS, I would be the lawyer for the defense with the annoying quirk. Modern Family, I would be the tenured professor on a childish rant. (see my clips) Romantic Comedy, I would be the irritated under cover boss who spies on the mail room and messes it up. That perfectionist neighbor you can never please.

Stage plays, in scene study I have cast well as Eric in Brooklynn Boy, Rothko in Red, Robert in Proof. the father in Dreamer Examines His Pillow.

Positivity, professionalism, union guy to a fault, and collaborator on set or location. That's my history.
