Actor-V.O.-Stunt Gaffer-Associate Producer

A seasoned Charactor Actor w/ 20+ Years Experience on Stage, Screen & the Tele!

I'm comfortable doing Period & Contempory projects, and I fit well into the skins of the mysterious Hitman, quirky Detective, stoic Rancher, and the put-upon Best Friend, not to mention the doting Husband & Father. Just recently, I've been working as an Actor-Stunt Gaffer-Producer on three Indy Projects, "SLICES: The Range segment" (horror), "GUNPLAY" (contempory western), "FOUR QUEENS & A JOKER" (comedy).My run as 'Dr. Hollander' for the LAMP LIGHT TOURS season in South Pasadena ended & received rave reviews from Fox Television. Had some days on "HIRED GUN" a Michael Madsen & Shane Wood actioner, as Officer Malloy & Stunt Driver for some rather harry chase scenes, thank'ee Pete Turner Stunt Gaffer extaordinar.

 Won Best Acting Award for my performance in "2042" by Digital Techniques from the 48 Hour Film Project.

I was cast as the Protagonist in "2042", a 48 Hour Film Project.
We had the awards presentation the evening of 2 July, 08 @ the Fairfax Theatre in West Hollywood. We came away w/ Best Cinematography, Best Acting & an Honourable Mention - Best Director.
I was approached afterwards by the Los Angeles Producer of the 48HFP, Peter Fox, he stated I gave a Magnificent performance & was the main reason for winning the category. I was Thunderstruck to state the least.
I stated then that if weren't for the rest of the excellent cast, we'd have never made it.
I'll be up-loading "2042" as soon as it becomes available.

 I performed for six years with a small Shakespearean Acting Troup in the Los Angeles area, where I learned the basics of my craft & stage combat. In addition, I've studied with coaches that have been touted as some of the contemporary greats, Kate McGregor-Stewert, Richard Lane, June Chandler, Nancy Wolfson, The Actors Studio, And A.I.A. Studios.

As a member of the Screen Actors Guild, A.F.T.R.A.., A.E.A., and the National League of S.A.G. Stunt Performers, My repertoire of skills has been described by some as remarkable, I've expertise in the use of period to contemporary firearms, I'm a weapons & riding coach, technical advisor,  I have military training, been a working wrangler, I'm Emergency 1st Aid Instructor, and I'm in the process of getting Nationally certified as an E.M.T.-I.
