Recent noteworthy acting experience (use the format on the Before Applying page):
This year, I've booked several films on the west coast, including the role of Tony Calucci in "The Untitled Kris Black Project" and the role of Andrew in "Bobby Khan's Ticket to Hollywood," starring Manchester NH's own, comic Tarun Shetty.
This year I shot 2 Pilots, including a very comedic role in a pilot starring MMA Superstar Bas Rutten. The pilot is his vehicle, and should air on SPIKE in the Fall.
I also have several national and regional commercials running currently.
I have been in class off-and-on over the past 5 years with John Kirby in his studio in LA, and when on the East Coast, I also try to catch as many weekend workshops with Peter Kelley as well. He was my first acting coach, and I was lucky to have him help pave the way of my craft.

I teach a traveling Business of Acting workshop and I host LA Casting Director Workshops. Check out what I do at: http://www.ACTORS2LA.com
