- AnecdotesAt the tender age of 17 he wrote a stage play that was picked up on Off-Broadway. Based on that play's success he was gifted a full scholarship to Columbia University in New York City. While there he perfected his craft and wrote several other stage plays including "The Day The Bronx Died" starring Isaiah Washington.
A four-year stint in the US Marine Corp led to the epic unproduced screenplay "Uncle Sam's Misguided Children", an acronym for USMC. During that time he also wrote "In Too Deep" and "Dead Presidents", the critically-acclaimed feature film.
In short succession he also penned the television series "Laurel Avenue" and the critically-acclaimed "Under One Roof." Eschewing the Hollywood lifestyle, he lives in the Midwest with life partner Kim.

Commentaire à la une
Under One Roof was an excellent drama about the trials and tribulations of a Black family living in Seattle. The show featured a strong ensemble headed by the legendary James Earl Jones. It was very refreshing to see a Black family portrayed on TV without the usual negative stereotypes. If you are looking for loud, buffoonish caricatures... thankfully, you won't find them on this series. I watched all 6 episodes when they originally aired on CBS. Of course, CBS didn't keep it around. Luckily, the new cable channel TV One started showing reruns on 1/26/04. So if you missed it the 1st time around and are lucky enough to have TV One on your cable system (it's currently only offered through Comcast), make it a point to check out Under One Roof.
