Hi All!
I’m an American actor who’s worked on Broadway and Off for thirty-five years as an actor and collaborator in theater, television and film. I'm based in New York City.
I have worked in the British film and television industries in London for over six years, at the National Theatre, as a resident actor at the Birmingham Repertory Theater, and at various regional theaters.
I’ve coached one on one and in the classroom, and love to help my friends in the industry with their various enterprises.
- Graduate of Circle in the Square(NYC)
- MFA in acting from Central School of Speech and Drama(UK)
-Studied with the late, great Harold Guskin for ten years.
-An active member of the Actors Center(NYC), providing continued study and collaboration with some of the finest actors and teachers in the country.
So, I’d absolutely love to help you book a job. I’ll work with you and tape your scene, run a script, run lines, work on a poem, work a monologue, a speech, classical text, period piece; whatever you’ve got on your plate, for school, work or fun. I love it all.
Use the time as you wish.
I can help with lifting it off the page, getting you off book, pacing a scene, finding tone, script analysis and character development, or give technical or creative feedback if you like…or just yadder!
Dialects are my forte!
