PAST
Watching my buddies auditioning for the High School musical, I thought: “I can do that!” Suddenly acting became a very important part of my life and dreams. I embraced theater fully and “the boards” became the place that life reached its greatest potential. Probably still is.
PRESENT
My first day on set I was hooked. I love the process. I love all the elements and how they work together. I am more than willing to trade in the response of an audience for the chance to create material that can take an audience to any world the production team can dream up.
FUTURE
Actor 1st- everything else 2nd. Of course there’s a lot to be done in that 2nd category. Related activities that will continue to be part of my creative life: teaching / writing / directing / editing / and supporting my ever-growing industry “family” of like-minded professionals.
ANCANAR
I’ll never forget my reaction to reading the sides for my audition. I turned to a co-worker and said, “This is me.” Thankfully co-creators Sam Balcomb and Raiya Corsiglia agreed.
THE DAMAGE DONE
Vimeo awarded this short film, from the production unit of Rainfall Films, their prestigious Staff Pick designation. It originally premiered at DVX WestFest where it won 1st place.
SWINE
The scrappy team (Well Oiled Machine) behind this project earn top marks for their ability to create an alternate world on a very low budget. We all suffered making this. But we’re all glad we did.
AMERICAN JUSTICE
Working in Oklahoma with “Tiny” Lister and John Schneider under the great direction of Demetrius Navarro was such a great experience. And the Category 5 Tornadoes were pretty cool too.
BROTHERS
A poignant, moving (and topical) short film from creator Troy Elliott that has won numerous awards including: BEST U.S. SHORT: Downtown Urban Arts Festival (Tribeca, NY).
MUSIC VIDEO
Italian superstar Jovanotti provided a great song and performance. Antonio & Niccolo – Awesome Tag-Team Directors. Great young co-star. And I got to drive a pickup truck.
