THROWBACK THURSDAY.
After I was in BROWNCOATS:REDEMPTION, one of the next movies I filmed was MY FRIENDS. It was a crime drama and I played one of the baddies. It was the first time my character died in a film. My first death scene. Sweet! I was thrown off a boat off the beach in Lewes, DE. I didn't mind it because I'm a great swimmer and didn't fear being pushed in. There was a "rescue swimmer" in the water with me as a precaution, so no worries. Anyway, it was a great experience and I love that I've been fortunate to continue acting in films and commercials.
UNDERCOVER
After last Saturday's table read, I was part of the filming for the promo video for next years DEEP UNDERCOVER webseries. I'm playing a police captain out to take down a known criminal family who killed my son...or did they? This is going to be a fun series to film. Thanks again for all of your support.

THROWBACK THURSDAY
Back in 2011, I was selected to be part of the pilot episode for an HBO show. It was my first time being around Hollywood actors. While I didn't share the scene with the lead actress, I was in a scene with two supporting actors. I played a Native American representative on a tour. Remember the scene? No. You wouldn't, because it ended up on the cutting room floor. Too bad. I had a great close up. Meh. It was a great experience and a fun day.
Throwback Thursday! 2 Years Ago
THROWBACK THURSDAY
Two and a half years ago, I went to a casting for the urban webseries, CHOICES. My audition was for a character who was the best friend of one of the main characters. As I read/performed the lines, I knew I wasn't right for the part. I sounded like Carlton from Fresh Prince trying to sound tough. No. The director had me read the lines for the police captain, Capt. Peter Nelson. That also didn't go well and it didn't help that two of the cast were actual Philadelphia police officers and correcting me with every read. ...
I PROMISE Movie Showing
Last night was a showing of the movie I PROMISE in Philadelphia as part of a film festival. It was held at a very nice art studio. The audience really loved the movie, emotional tears were shed, and praised the cast and our director for telling a great story. I really enjoyed working with Jeni Miller and Deirdre McCallagh again and I wish we could all work together on another project in the near future. Always surround yourself with creative and fun people and watch the blank canvas become a beautiful piece of art. Enjoy the pictures.
Read More5 Years
It's been over 5 years since my first feature film premiered. BROWNCOATS:REDEMPTION was a great movie to be a part of to launch my acting profession. The movie raised over $100K for charity and taught me so much about being an actor and learning things about the business. The clips were from two reviews about the movie. Good fun and I'm looking forward to more projects loading up my scheduled for 2016. #tbt
Read MoreVeterans Day
In December of 1988, I made the life decision to enlist in the United States Navy. I was still a senior in high school and entered in the Delayed Entry Program (DEP) to secure my departure date for bootcamp and my job. In August of 1989, I left for boot and by January of 1990 I was stationed at Pearl Harbor, HI. While my next three years were formidable in shaping the man I am today, I never lost focus on why I enlisted. ...
Read MoreLessons
I am not a Native North American Indian, but rather Native South American Indian. During a project I did this summer, I worked very closely for two weeks with many Native North American Indians. While they were all very amiable and accepting of the cast, crew, and me, some preferred to just be called Indians and happily took the time to share their history, life teachings, and importance of their culture. I appreciated the education from them as they included lessons I wouldn't learn from books. No matter what nation they were from, I was thankful for those two weeks as they showed me what it means to be a proud Indian.

Throughout my acting journey, I've met some incredibly talented people both in front and behind the camera. Two years ago when I met Jeff Swisher on the set of DEVIL IN JERSEY, we shared laughs between our takes and crushed our scenes together. We later carried that professional working relationship to the webseries, CHOICES, which is nearing its series finale. Well, I just wrapped my scene for his first comedy, MATCH.COMEDY, last night and had a blast. ....
