Born on January 17, in Lancaster, CA. Raised in San Fernando Valley,
CA.
my Mother and father moved us all to Memphis, TN when I was 10
years old.
..I've always been interested in performing or entertaining
in one way or
another ...
I'm an actor an actor that combines the method along with my
own
technique, which I have developed by working as an actor. --
I'm
always looking for a challenging role in film I am a singer,
performer
and a strong improvisational performer-- I can say this because I
have
been studying with the legendary RED WEST (Glory Road, Forty Shades
of
Blue, Road House, Baa Baa Black Sheep) at his "The Red West
Actors
Studio." in Memphis for the past 8 years. I also served as a
studio
member.
I was accepted into Gary Grubbs (All the Kings Men,
Ray, Double Take,
Will & Grace) limited "Studio South" acting classes
and was
professionally coached for 4 years... I am always excited whenever
I'm
challenged to create believable characters of all kinds; I have
made
some life long friends in these classes and found ways to
express
myself that I never knew I possessed...
After a short time...I
got my first union job, I played the role of
"Gary" in Ira Sachs: "Forty
Shades of Blue" it won the top prize at
The Sundance 2005 film festival...
after that I went on to play the
quiet Fred O'Malley in J.D Evermore's
Mocumentary "Glorious Mail" .
Then I was hired by Robert Saba to bring his
character Hershey to life
in "DELUSIONS". After a short breather, I then got
a call from M David
Lee about doing his speed dating film "SLOW DOWN…You're
Dating to
Fast" then Bevan Bell wrote another script for Rusted Sun
Films,
"Divine Manipulation of the Threads"
I was thrilled to work for Jim
Exton and his production on "Unholy
Passion" I was fortunate to work with
some amazing people. All
together it was a fantastic production.
"I
like portraying a variety of different characters and then trying
to bring
them to the screen with the uniqueness, that each one
deserves. I like to
work very fast, it gives me the opportunity to try
a lot of different stuff."
