Bio

Gender: M
Your vocation(s) (hold Control key to select multiple): Actor; Musician; Photographer
Bio: I've been working on stage and in film, television and multi-media for over 30 years now. My "Starry Messenger" program, about the amazing discoveries of Galileo, has been seen in a dozen states. Last year I performed in five independent productions and hope to find at least twice that many this year, with all the good vibes being created by Beanywood.
I'm Looking For: (hold Control key to select multiple): Acting Gigs
Current Project (s) and What you're seeking (explain in more detail what "I'm Looking For"): Seeing "Fathers" at the SNOBS (Somewhat North of Boston) Film Festival (http://www.snobfilmfestival.org/) was a lot of fun. It was one of three films at the session. I was the only cast or crew member who could make it (director Bridgit's Mom was there as well), so I ended up handling the Q&A. The audience really seemed to enjoy it.

I've just started working on "In the Name of the Son" (a Western), playing a retired gunfighter who has to find the body of his murdered son. I have always wanted to do a Western, though New England is not the best place to be to do that. Anytime you get to strap on a six shooter and try to steal a couple of horses can only be fun.
