Hey there! I’ve been a professional actor/director/acting coach for over 30 years. I’ve worked on Broadway, Off-B’way, National Tours, Regional Theatre, Stock, etc. Many of my acting students have gotten Broadway and TV jobs from our coachings.
I have done tons of self tapes, as an actor and as a reader for other actors. As a reader I am there to pump you up, support your talent, guide you through the scene, lend my many years of experience and, if you ask, I can offer feedback or direction.
I have worked with some of the top casting directors in New York as a reader, back in the olden days when we were all allowed to be in the same room together. I have heard it from the horse’s mouth what they are looking for.
I am easy going, focused, fun, versatile and supportive. I look forward to helping you book that job!
Recently Booked: Law & Order - NBC
The Good Fight - Paramount Plus
