Care and Feeding


I'M AN ACTOR. I'm not a rocket scientist, although I have developed a character who thinks he is. His name is Dr. Ludwig Von Czerrebellum. He has invented the potato-powered smart-pants. And a time displacement kitty litter box. The kitty poops and the box sends it to...sometimes the cat goes as well. More work needs to be done... I do an assortment of theatrical stuff not limited to...

I’ve been performing as long as I can remember, having been thrown out of class for doing Rocky and Bullwinkle impressions in the fourth grade. My first serious stage role was as “Pilgrim”( pronounced “Pil-grum”) the same year in the Thanks giving play. I made my TV debut at age seven on Rex Trailer's Boomtown (WBZ-TV, Boston), as the pony express rider, uttering the immortal “a Cah-toon!” when asked what was coming up next by Mr. Trailer himself. I majored in Theatre at Emerson College, Boston receiving a BFA in Acting in 1976. I spent the next 20 years mostly as a darkroom technician (emulsion jockey!) before, like a cicada, emerging like a scourge on the theatre world in 1995.
My resume is below and I’ll send a voice over tape iffin you like. I am a member of all three acting unions, SAG (screen actors guild) AFTRA (American Federation of planets (oops!) television, radio, this that and the other), and Actors Equity.


Still Interested?… Frightened?… Intrigued?… Bored?… Read on...


I'm originally from Massachusetts, a place I couldn't spell until I was in my 30's.We just called it "Mass". The Post Office now calls it MA. Which was confusing, because I was brought up Catholic, and of course I thought there was some mysterious and secret connection between the two "masses”. As well as NASA, Nassau, and Nasser, Grammy and grammar, Watts and warts, all pronounced the same and never fully explained. Nothing made any sense to me then. It makes less sense to me now. I have enjoyed recklessness in my life like sky diving and motorcycling, and housecleaning. I no longer imbibe or indulge. The most danger I get into now a-days is lecturing the city council on the continuing error of their ways and writing angry letters to the local paper. In fact I met someone recently and he said, "Oh, you're the guy who writes the letters..." My greatest passions now include but are not limited to my wife Heidi, our cats, the turtles and tortoises, my orchids, and being in my back yard. My greatest desires before I die is that everyone will drive the speed limit in residential neighborhoods, boom boxes , leaf blowers and SUV’s will all go away, and people will decide to stop having so many babies, so there will be something left for any one who survives in the future. As of today my motto is " IT'S OK TO NOT HAVE CHILDREN".
