I am a stage and on-camera actor based in the San Francisco Bay Area (by way of Chicago and Milwaukee).
Since my acting debut at five as a dancing cat, I've been hooked on performing. It's my preoccupation and my calling. It doesn't matter if it's a day shoot or a fully staged production, I delve deep into the character and strive for authenticity.
I've written a solo performance piece based upon my experience of receiving a terminal cancer diagnosis. The piece examines dying, acting, imagination, connection, and authenticity.
AND it's funny. (In parts)
