Hello everyone ! Ghost from the past here.Well I was
something of a ghost even back on campus.Sorry I
missed graduation(life got in the way).
However, I want to thank Shawn West for
being such an inspiration.The week after the drama
club got back from the Ashland Oregon Shakespeare
fest I discovered that I didn't have the fortitude
for "accelerated" French but did have a new passion
for acting and theatre.
Life has been full of drama ever since.In '82
I joined up with a christian outreach choir,The
Starfire Singers from the methodist church in Los
Altos.Lots of singing and acting and tours for four
years.Cameraderie to last a lifetime(oh no he spoke
French!).Starting in '83 I began to do plays and
musicals around the South Bay and then went pro in
1990.I moved to Los Angeles in '92 to study method
acting
and help form a "meth. rep. co."(no drugs needed).
Instead of a repertory company I did a
lot of acting in film and on t.v.. I was able to work
on three episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation
and 40 on Star Trek:Deep
Space Nine ; part of which allowed me to join the
Screen Actor's Guild ( some t.v. is shot on film ).
Moving to San
Francisco in 1996 I went on a "life experience" 8
week theatre tour
around the Mid-west. I returned to Los Angeles for a
year and after a failed attempt ( now inspiration for
a book) at a European theatre tour, I recovered back
in Northern California for 3 years and relocated to
Monterey in 2001. The Summer of 2005 saw me doing two
plays at the Shakespeare "Festival" in Carmel and
that Fall I made my first apperance at a Science
Fiction Convention that has resulted in being cast in
a great role for an exciting film.After 7 years I am
acting
again as well as writing and life is starting to look
up again.

p.s. Lori, sorry I fell off the face of the
Earth. Thank You for the life preserver (FBCLA).
