I love this! I love our craft and the connection we create. I’ve had the pleasure of working with different casting directors in Los Angeles, and seeing what it’s like on the other side. I remember being out of town for an audition and got the callback for later that day. While out to lunch with another actor auditioning for a one line role, she asked how to break down sides. I helped her using my sides. The catch, the director thought I was the wrong look and she booked the role I read based on my coaching! It was then I realized this would be a blast to do too! I have improv training through the Groundlings, and have studied with various teachers in Los Angeles for everything from cold reading to deep scene study.
I'm currently the Audio Description Narrator for Grey's Anatomy and Station 19. I've done tons of AD for films and I am one of only 11 people to perform Live Audio Description on broadcast television. Some of my credits for live description include the Grammys, the Tonys, the Rose Parade, and the NAACP Image Awards. Live description is flying without a net, complete improve! I love it!
I was written into a film coming out this Christmas after being the reader at the callback. Now the director and the writer each want me in all their films. That's how this industry moves. Always be prepared!
If you are a Performer with Disabilities, please know that there is now a SAG-AFTRA LA PWD Committee and I am the Chair. I am also the Vice Chair of the National PWD Committee. We are here for you! Reach out any time!
I hope to help you book that next exciting gig! Happy to read as many times as you’d like, with as much or as little coaching as you desire. It's all about you!
Thrilled to be able to be back on here after being gone so long as part of the SAG-AFTRA TV/Theatrical Negotiation Committee. It was a long ride but we all did it together! Union Strong!

I earned my SAG card on a Bon Jovi video in '95. I started working on everything that shot in Vegas, before moving to LA. I got the lead in an indie called "Red Lightning" and was ready to hit the ground running when life took me to Nashville. But I'm on my way back, already booked in another indie with a large role along name actors. We start shooting as soon as it's safe!
I tried that thing where they say, "if you can see yourself doing anything else", so I moved from LA to Nashville (for a boy...don't do that) and opened a yoga studio. Yeah, can't. I'm an actor. I still love helping people with yoga, but my passion is the connection we find telling stories. I sold the studio June of 2020 (seriously, who buys a yoga studio during a global pandemic?) sold the house and moved home to LA...during a pandemic.
I also love expanding people's ideas of labels. I don't "look" disabled, or I'm "too pale" to be Lebanese, but I'm both. As a person with a hidden disability, (most people think I'm drunk or my shoes hurt) I feel even more pulled to tell stories of those who aren't understood to help us all connect and realize we are all basically the same. At our core, we all want to give and receive love.
Oh, and I am always this cheesy, but usually laughing like crazy at the same time while doing something nerdy.
