I’m gluten and dairy free. I’ve had stitches in my head 5 times. The Sistine Chapel blew my mind. I love traveling. I’ve performed in plays for more than 120,000 people. My miniature dachshund is named Leonard. Leonard believes I am his butler.
A homeless man said I look like Bruce Banner. A Hungarian escort told me I might be royalty. I choose to believe both of them.
I still like to draw storyboards. My sketches tend towards superheroes. I think my Scottish accent is better than my Irish accent. I missed one shoot because I had pneumonia. I get randomly selected for bag searches. A lot. I cook great Italian food, but I can’t eat it. There was a Saint Gellert. There’s also a Saint Matthew. I have an acting degree, so I present to clients really well. I re-read Dante’s “Inferno” every other year. Movies are my jam. Never ask me to sing. Your ears will bleed. The Disney-World fire department had to rescue me once. My spine is part titanium. Video-village is my second home.
WHAT GAVE ME A CAREER
My previous life as an actor touring all across the country, occasional parts in Indie films, teaching drama to kids, growing up short wearing leg braces (You better be funny to get through that), convincing college theatre departments to produce actual posters for their plays, spending a semester in the Advertising and Design program at F.I.T., and learning how to mentor because my parents were teachers.
