I was born in NYC back in the mid

1950's.


The time when TV was still in it's

golden days.


I was lucky enough to watch alot

of classic sit coms,westerns,game shows,

some comedy/variety shows and kids

tv shows.


More often than not..My parents took

my brothers and I to see the movies and

to the theater.

I enjoyed watching the performances

of Bob Holiday as"Superman"in "It's A

Bird,It's A Plane,It's Superman" at The Alvin

Theater(Now The Neil Simon Theater) on

Times Sq.in March,1966.


I also got to see Joel Grey in "George

M",Sam Levine in"The Impossible Years",

Jim Dale in"Barnum",William Daniels and

Howard Da Silva in"1776" and Ian Richardson,

George Rose,Robert Coote and Christine De

Andeas in the first Broadway Revival of"My Fair

Lady!".


Watching these plays,stage musicals,

movies like"Marty","The Music Man","My

Fair Lady","The Odd Couple" and watch

the kids tv shows,sit coms and comedy/

variety shows inspired me to become

a performer.


I did some performing in school

and in summer camp.


But?

It was not until after I graduated from

high school that I made my acting debut

with a small repetory theater co. in NYC.


It was in 1975 that I joined"The Great Salt

Of The Earth"Theater Co. and appeared in

the show "Pantaloon" a stage farce..

In which I played a pompus brittish

nobleman "Lord Marciano".


I did that show for a year and

I appeared in a drama titled

"Dover's Donkey" in which I

played the title role.


That show lasted two seasons.


"The Great Salt Of The Earth"

Theater went bankrupt in 1977

and I went into Summer Stock.


From 1981 to 1989..I performed

in many plays with The Newfoundland

Performing Arts Center's theater.


I also did two musicals"Oliver"

as "Mr.Bumble" and"The Music

Man" as"Marcellus Washburn".


From there,I tried my hand at

being a nightclub comedian and

imprestionist.


I was part of a street clown act

at NYC street festivals.


Until my partner got drunk and

I moved on.

I wrote,produced and performed

on many installments of my brother's

children's radio series"The Imagination

Parade".


I also wrote articles about the arts

and film,theater and tv revues for

small newspapers.


In 2003,a friend of mine

TV producer Burt DuBrow hired

me to play The bumbling tv reporter

on"Alf's Hit Talk Show".


We taped the pilot in November

of 2003 and the show aired a year

later.

We did six more shows..but

we were cancelled after those

seven show.


I've also contributed info to such books as

"Soupy Sez!:My Life & Zany Times!","Hi There! Boys &

Girls!","TV Party" and"Dummy Days!".

My hobbies are writting,swimming,

watching movies and tv shows,collecting

show biz memorbillia,playing baseball

and researching the history of the

entertainment industry.
