Hello and Welcome,
I just returned to Maine after living in the Los Angeles area where I did background acting. I am available for background and character roles. Recent projects I have worked on in 2008-2009 are television: "My Name is Earl," "Heroes." I worked on feature films shot in Los Angeles including, "My Name is Khan," Farewell Atlantis 2012," "Freeloaders," and also did an MTV promo with Andy Samberg for Backyard Productions.
I usually seem to get cast as a biker or street person and played a crazy street person on Heroes and a biker in the MTV promo. In "My Name is Khan," I played a street person who pushed the star, "Sheruck Khan, because he wasn't moving fast enough.
I was born and raised in Rhode Island. My family is spread throughout New England and I have been exposed to and picked up many dialects. There are many in New England. My mother was born in New Hampshire
and her dialect was different than my grandfather who was born and raised on Cape Cod. To add to my experience of dialects, I spent a lot of time in Maine in a small village of fishermen and picked up the "Downeast" dialect.
My voice is distinctive and that helped when I was a race track announcer and also in my work as a hypnotherapist and guided meditation teacher. All that experience, in so many jobs, has helped me to learn to adapt and slip into roles and
mindsets.
Here is a list of some of the jobs I've held in my life; background actor, carpenter, behavioral therapist (clinical hypnotherapist), tax assessor, race track announcer, author lecturer, fisherman (scuba diver in Rhode Island), harness horse racing (owner and groom),
computer programmer, fiber artist, salesman, gambler, internet entrepreneur, painter, machinist (repairing submarines), truck driver, bus driver.
I've been a father and raised two children, my son Jesse and my daughter Jamie. In 1981 I was an assistant pastor of a church in Warwick, Rhode Island and also a leader in Christian Parents for Family Justice. I lead a protest march to the steps of the courthouse in Providence to protest the archaic
and unfair way the family court system was administered in Rhode Island. My life experience and life in the public spotlight has helped me to prepare for many roles.
I am available for voice overs and background.
