Biography

2023 brought more background acting, a few music videos, and a role in a film still in production, titled Cannibal Mukbang. I continue to be featured in background roles, but I am trying to focus more on speaking roles. Once again I'll probably take a summer job with the government, but projects are lining up for late summer and fall. Hopefully I will do some small roles this summer when I can get the time. Of course, I am trying to work in the film industry 100 percent, not 50 percent. I audition almost daily and distance from a shoot location is usually the main reason I don't get cast, but I pull myself up and put myself in the race again. I have a role in Phoenix in June and I have other roles later in the year. 2022 ended with speaking role for In the Glow of Darkness, a voiceover, role in a music video, and a scattering of background roles and featured roles. In 2021 a role in a music video in Atlanta, then a short film in Savannah, GA for students at SCAD, and then a short film in New Orleans, LA for students at New Orleans University. Hell's Bells was released where I am a creepy janitor, and I performed a role as a guru in Planet Heaven, which is showing in various location on the west coast presently. The later 2 are both Indie films and one was in Tallahassee, FL and the other in Los Angeles, CA. I have a few acting classes in Los Angeles and on in college over 20 years ago and a couple in Gulfport, MS a couple year ago. Then Covid and I returned to background acting. I have done extra acting since 1987 in Los Angeles, CA, then in St. Louis, MO, followed by 5 years working mostly in New Orleans, LA and Atlanta, GA. However, I have also did extra/background acting in Dallas, TX area, Lafayette, LA/Baton Rouge, LA area, Birmingham, AL, Biloxi and Gulfport, MS, And Savannah, GA. I worked background full-time and more for nearly 6 years. I spent a lot of time on the road between Atlanta and New Orleans. Between auditions and background acting, I put in a lot of hours. I have been a stand-Union the Act and cast to be in Gloria's as a protester in January. Aside being featured as a drunk guy, I have also been a dead guy at a bar, crazy man in a psych ward, and a lot more. I used to have a big beard and very long hair. That got me featured often. I've even been a clown. When I first started, I was younger and thinner, and I got a lot of clean-cut roles. Now, I am working on losing weight and getting into better shape again. I was also in a photo shoot in northern Mississippi for K.K. Wooten. I am from Missouri where I grew up working many farms. I have been in the Army. I am used to traveling with this work, the military, laboratory, archaeology, farming, driving trucks and equipment, office, love being around animals, I can ride a horse; though it's been a long time, scooter, and bicycle. I have helped build theater sets for summer Repertory Theater at the University of Missouri, 1988. Loved it! In acting I tend to like Improv acting when I did it a long time ago and I used to be good at accents, but I need to work on both again.
