Welcome!

I’m an award-winning actor / producer with years of professional experience working off and on Broadway, on the West End, in TV & in Film, on-and-off stage and screen. While my wheelhouse is most centrally in the acting / producing where I am a working professional, I love working with artists of all sorts and have mentored and/or consulted on probably 100 projects over the years.

From audition preparation and self-taping with actors to co-writing or script doctoring plays and pilots and films to edit or budget development on major project or even feedback on album art and punching up jokes for stand up sets, I work with folks as young as middle and high school students, newcomers who’ve never tried anything artsy before, and seasoned industry veterans who are looking for another cornerman.
