while in various studios where he got interested in acting.He enrolled
in an acting class and several months later he got a couple of lines in
a comedy skit on "Tony Orlando and Dawn'. After several years of doing
dramatic and situation comedy shows he landed a recurring role on 'Hill
Street Blues' as Sal the Plumber.That lasted a couple of years and he
continued acting for several more years until about 2001.A couple of
misunderstandings and some frustrations stifled his interest and desire
to continue acting, so he retired. He has one son and three daughters
