In my opinion, a true actor should start with work and training on the stage.  Learning to create a character, to listen, to move, to feel stillness and to process the beats of a script is a base needed before dealing with the technicalities of the camera.  Most of the greatest screen actors had a start on the stage and it is not by accident.  Some actors may grow on screen but understanding the ancient art of performing on stage is a true foundation. 

I am now focusing on film and television but I believe that I am bringing what I have learned over the years on stage to different mediums.  Over the last couple of years I have exclusively performed at the Santa Monica Civic Light Opera under the direction of my original theater mentor Dr. Frank X. Ford.  I am proud to say that the stage is my origin and that I have tackled some amazing roles and studied a variety of styles.

All the world is a stage!....
