Hello and welcome to my web sight. Just a little information about me and then in the following pages I would like to tell you about working as an extra in the movies and television.

I was born in Niagara Falls New York and during my junior high school and high school years I was involved with acting in many stage plays such as Bye Bye Birdie,The Happy Journey,and Jamie Freal. I also performed at the Niagara Falls Little theatre In the Odd Couple and the Flower Drum Song. And sang the national anthem at my high school commencment. After graduation I attended college at Grahm Jr. College in Boston and studied television production. In college I produced several college station shows and was the host of a special for Muscular Distrophy featuring Clarabell from the Howdie Doodie show. I also performed in a play written and directed by Andy Kaufman. 

Following college I worked as a motion picture machine operater at various theaters in and around Boston. As a member of Local 182 it gave me a chance to work in stage theatres where I worked as a laborer on Cats,The Big Deal,Beatle Mania,and the Magic of David Copperfield. Then a friend and neighbor told me about doing extra work in films and television so I tried out for an extra part in the mini series The Kennedy's of Massachusetts. I did three scenes but like most times working as an extra I could only be seen in one shot. From there I went out on a lot of auditions but only landed a few. House Sitter, The Next Karate kid,Blown Away and a T.V. commercial for Ames Department stores. A friend asked me to play a part in his cable film City Cops where I had lines but it was only shown on local cable.

Well that is almost everything about my background but in the following pages I have pictures from some of the things I have done and I will discuss in detail some of the behind the scenes of what happens when you're in the movies.

I hope you enjoy your visit.
