BIOGRAPHY
A talented actor who never made it
For most of my life I was a struggling actor. I appeared on such shows as Mash, WKRP in Cincinnati, and General Hospital. Back in the mid-seventies I attended the very prestigious American Academy of Dramatic Arts where I was part of the first graduating class in Los Angeles.
Over the years I wrote all my own audition monologues and many treatments for the various popular shows of the day. I even wrote a few original ideas for TV. But never sold any of them. After volunteering for a unique project to teach drama to inmates of the federal prison at Lompoc, I wrote the first version of INSIDE OUT as a screenplay in 1983. It was to be my "Rocky." But producers of the day were not interested in a story that truthfully depicted prison violence.
Now in my 70's, am a widower, father of a beautiful daughter, and live in a small house on a hill overlooking a large lake in Northern California..
