show all Born in Berkeley, California, to a liberal/artist mother and a conservative/salesman father during the tumultuous sixties. Like his vaudevillian grandfather, he fell into theatre at an early age. Acting was the one constant in a childhood filled with many moves and schools. He studied and preformed at the San Jose Music/Arts Institute, the San Jose Children's Musical Theatre and the East Bay Centre Repertory as well as other Northern California theatre companies in the late 70s and early 80s. He moved to Los Angeles in 1985 to study under (the late, great) Estelle Harman, became a member of the critically acclaimed New One-Act Theatre Ensemble from 1989 to 1992 and landed several small film and TV roles here and there. His semi-break came in 1996, when he was cast in a guest role on the pilot "The "Boston Common" (1996)". The producers liked his quirky versatility on-camera (and his loud laugh off-camera at the network run-thru) that he returned for 10 more episodes as the anal and humorless "D.C." More film and TV work followed; An effete designer on "Beverly Hills, 90210" (1990)", a clueless dimwit on "King's Pawn" (1999)" with James Avery and Glenn Morshower, an understated lawyer on "Commission (2003)" with Martin Sheen and Martin Landau. In the Krista Allen film, "Totally Blonde (2001)", as well as the Tony Plana film "Change Your Life! (2007)", his versatility was put to use again as several different characters. His most recent personal project (in which he wrote, produced and directed), "Duck, Duck, Goose! (2005)", has played over 20 festivals and garnered awards.
