  • Theater Roundup 2018; A Merry Summer Dream Achieved

    By far the highlight of my 2018 was achieving a childhood dream. Some background: my first professional acting engagement came at the tender age of 14, when I was cast as Donalbain in the Scottish Play, and William Page in The Merry Wives of Windsor, for the summer repertory season at the then fledgling Santa…

  • 2017 News

    Click here to see the latest video of work. It’s the first time I’ve been able to use my (native) British accent on film. And the rest of 2017 is off to a great start! Look closely and you’ll see me as one of three fathers of a very famous identity in a commercial during a…

  • My favorite film of 2016 (to work on, that is)

    From “Trying to F**k,” a comedy musical short that was knocked out in an incredibly quick shoot (not that you’d know by watching it). These are just two scenes, and I was glad I got the chance to show a British accent (I’m native born) for the first time on screen, having used them for…

  • BANNED IN TUCSON returns to Comedy Central

    The Ethnic-Studies-Themed sketch show that I’ve been privileged to be a part of, BANNED IN TUCSON, returns to the Comedy Central Stage (they don’t have a dedicated website — here’s their facebook page). This diversity-themed sketch show was created by topical sketch writer Ernie Bustamente. It’s free, but reservations are required. 323.960.5519 

  • East Los High scene – video!

    Here is video of my appearance on the Daytime-Emmy-Nominated “East Los High,” with Emmy-Nominated actress Vanessa Vasquez. This was an all-around great experience, and I so appreciated working with Director Carlos Reza. There were lots of laughs on set that day. [iframe id=”https://www.youtube.com/embed/0N59_fpR__s”]

  • SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY

    This week I join the cast of TOP STORY WEEKLY at IO West. Sunday night, 8pm, in the heart of Hollywood. I’ll be playing Jeb Bush, Tim Cook, and Drugo.

  • Two Degrees from Harold Pinter

    I’m appearing in King’s Road Park in the City of West Hollywood’s Free Theater in the Park series through the second week of August in Tony-Winner Tony Tanner’s adaptation (and under his direction) of Moliére’s “The Misanthrope” or “The Man-Hater.” It’s a delightful cast, and since Tony-Winner Tony (my new tongue twister) appeared opposite Harold Pinter in the West…

  • A Princely Pauper

    Next up? I’ll be appearing as the Lord Chamberlain (and at least two others) in The Prince and the Pauper at the MainStreet Theatre Company at the Lewis Family Playhouse in Rancho Cucamonga for February / March. Jack Benny would be proud.

  • Tactless

    Good news… just shot a guest spot on a new sketch show for Russell Simmons’ “All Def Digital” Youtube channel, called TACTLESS. Funny script, lots of ad libs and improvisation on set. Watch for it here before the end of the year, they say. I’m beginning to think that I may have a career playing…
