Show business has been the life I know and love . . .
Biography
In my career as a NYC Local One stagehand, I had the privilege of working backstage on the original productions of Ragtime, Avenue Q, Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson and Prince of Broadway, to name a few.
I also worked for the NYC Opera and Ballet. As well as in television on the soaps Ryan’s Hope and All My Children and the talk shows Jimmy Fallon and The Stephen Colbert Show.
Show business has been the life I know and love. When semi-retired I tried some acting classes taught by Rachel Jones and found them rewarding, challenging and a whole bunch of fun. So I have decided to do as Vera Charles advised her friend Mame to do and that is to “settle down to something steady like acting."
From the original production of “Don’t Call Me Spry” by Gretchen Metzloff.
