About Me: |
I am writing to introduce myself and express my keen interest in exploring potential opportunities in your upcoming projects. As an actor with over 30 years of on-camera experience in film, television, commercials, and industrials, I bring a unique blend of talent, professionalism, and commitment to each role I undertake.
I have had the privilege to portray a broad range of characters in various productions. Some of my most notable roles include Virgil in 'The Iceman', Pastor in 'Million to One', and Detective Mike House in 'Liam White: The Forgettable Life of Liam White', all with 8 Picture House. I have also had the pleasure of working with industry giants such as Walt Disney Pictures, Warner Brothers, and 20th Century Fox Television. In addition to film and television roles, I have considerable experience in industrial films, including a series of training films for the IRS, and a broad range of commercials. My experience extends from being a Tax Preparer in IRS training films to narrating a PSA for Thurgood Marshall. My range and adaptability make me a versatile actor for a multitude of roles. My training and continual skill development also set me apart. I have participated in various on-camera training programs and commercial acting courses, honing my craft to deliver quality performances. Beyond my acting skills, my background in martial arts, law enforcement, and military service provides me with a unique skill set that can be valuable for a variety of roles |
