Following drama school, some of my personal highlights as an actor in England were: Harlequin a Commedia dell’arte production in Birmingham; playing Jack in Jack the Ripper in London; six weeks in Wales filming Michael Mann’s The Keep; and being part of Laurence Olivier’s King Lear for Granada Television in Manchester.

In Los Angeles, my life-long interest in social justice led me to found The Harry Bridges Project in 2000, for which I produced two radio documentaries and wrote the one-man play From Wharf Rats to Lords of the Docks: The Life and Time of Harry Bridges. I then produced three documentary films and another one-man play, To Begin the World Over Again: The Life of Thomas Paine, written with a COLA (City of Los Angeles) Fellowship. The film versions of both plays aired for multiple years on PBS. They were directed by Haskell Wexler, five-time Academy Award nominee and two-time winner, because he believed in the power of these two stories. 

I have completed and began performing my latest play Magic and Lightning: into the Mind of Nikola Tesla. Past performances of the Bridges and Paine plays include the English and Scottish Parliaments in London and Edinburgh, Faneuil Hall in Boston, Joe’s Pub at the Public Theatre in New York, Grand Performances in Los Angeles, and The American Philosophical Society in Philadelphia.
