I believe we need to stay focused and aware at all times to make the most of this life, to connect and be in the moment. As serious as all this sounds, balance is necessary, humor invaluable, and to go a step further, a sense of the ridiculous is the sublime. My motto is, it’s always now and it’s never too late. With a background in musical comedy, eight years in the military, a stint as a clown at the famed Cirque Medrano in Paris where I lived and worked for six years, have left their mark. The Japanese martial art aikido, Japanese calligraphy and the Japanese language are a constant preoccupation. The process of polishing the spirit as in Zen swordsmanship applies to the actor’s and writer’s craft as well, in my view. I’ve played a wide range of roles; on stage, television and film. Some film credits are THREE DAYS OF THE CONDOR, WILD BILL. In GETTYSBURG and GODS & GENERALS where I played John Bell Hood. A few of my television credits include HAPPY DAYS, MacGYVER, AND THE BAND PLAYED ON, THE AVENGING ANGEL, ROUGH RIDERS, RENEGADE, THE DREW CAREY SHOW, GHOST WHISPERER, RIZZOLLI & ISLES, NCIS:LA, and AVENGERS:ENDGAME.
