Wow, you really want to know more than my headshot and resume?
It's always great to meet people who take an interest in other human beings--we should talk.
Coming from the colorful SF Bay Area, I have a passion for playing eccentric characters like the ones I grew up around. 2011 has been productive and blessed; so far I've shot two pilots, one for the showrunner of The Cleaner, had a part in Stephen Gyllenhaal's (Jake and Maggie's poppa) next feature, a music video for the lead singer of Fall Out Boy, an MTV project, and I joined a web sketch troupe to name just the highlights. I know I've put the work in and earned it, but any success continues to be a happy surprise I don't take for granted.
Fueled by acting, I also produce original and edgy spoof shorts and web serials. The shorts have earned industry recognition at the Broad Humor Film Festival and the series French is Super! has over 100 thousand hits and over 250 subscribers from across the world, granting me eligibility for the elite YouTube Partnership Program.
I've been featured in Backstage West, by KoldCast TV, several times in Hollywood casting director Bonnie Gillespie's column The Actors Voice on Showfax and in her book Self-Management for Actors.
The other half of my life is devoted to civil, animal and environmental causes: supporting equal rights legislation, making pancakes for my vegan community, and walking in LA (*gasp*). I see acting as another way of saving the planet.
