Voiceover Actor

Early last week an indie film produced out of NYC was in Sarasota shooting some scenes for the movie The Jonestown Defense and at one point we were improv-ing while circling over Wauchula in a small aircraft. You just never know how your experiences can prepare you for the unusual. This coming weekend, one of my favorite people, Lori Wyman, will be in town for a booksigning Friday night and a two-day workshop on Auditioning for TV&Film Saturday and Sunday.

Actors sometimes pigeonhole themselves and limit their ability to grow and prosper. Fortunately, my new found "career" has a lot of variety. I act in movies and on the stage.
