Other non-acting related work, hobbies or charities (not skills) in which this actor is involved (1 or 2 word descriptions):

I was working for Boston Duck Tours as a driver/captain! Nothing like fighting downtown rush hour Boston traffic in WWII surplus :) We got to choose our own character to give the history tour, so I wanted someone from Boston, instantly recognizable, and from the 1940's since we were cruising around in a WWII vehicle. So I did a spoof of JFK during WWII, wearing a period Navy uniform, and talking in the Kennedy accent. My character was "Lt. John F. Kenneduck." And YOU are aboard PT 409. (She's real fine, my 4 oh 9!) The vehicle itself became my moving stage, five performances a day, hour and a half each, 4 or 5 days a week, interacting with an audience of 32 kids and/or tourists each time entertaining and teaching. Great fun! Utterly exhilarating and exhausting. I did little else for 3 years. I consider it as my apprenticeship doing repertory theater.
