To hear his V/O talents, go to www.shutupandtalk.com and click on "Male Actor Demo." To see him eat fire, invite him to parties.
To read his plays, just ask nicely. Many thanks go to assorted friends and collective family, plus Ken and the staff and crew of Tri- State. Additional thanks go to the hard working men and women of Macy's, without whom many of us would not be dressed, and certainly this play would not have been written.
