Italian Mob, Jewish Senior, Philly/NYC Cab Driver, Doctor/Professor, Cheesy Used-Car Salesman, Drill Instructor, Angry German, Clod (think Cloten from Shakespeare's Cymbeline), Weather Reporter, Vampire, Deranged Arch-Villain bent on World Domination/ Destruction, Archetypal Hero, Neurotic/Phobic, Violent Offender (Stanley from Streetcar Named Desire), Guy Next Door, Father, Grandfather, Over-Actor (Jim Carey), Australian, Russian/Slavic, British (UCB or LCB). Also, I can and would love to play any role that is intended to combine emotional intensity with comedic timing.

My voice-over experience is still rather limited. My involvement in staged theater has led me voice-over work. What I like most about theater is the process of character development. I love learning about my character through the script, until his history, attitude, and reactions become real to me, and then eventually finding his unique voice as a result. I hope to bring this process of character development to voice-over. I spent 3 years (9 quarters) performing with the Shakespeare group at UCLA. I've taken over 40 units of theater classes (including basic and advanced stage acting, scene study, character study, voice and diction, and acting for film and television) at UCLA and various community colleges. Also, having spent over a decade in the mortgage industry, I have given several hundred public presentations for clients and colleagues. Although I am willing to work in other fields, I am particularly interested in video games. When a game has the right combination of music and character development, it can be a deeply engaging and memorable experience. I would love to play some small part in making a great game more real for its players by creating the voice of a rich, believable, and unique character.
