A little bit about my background...
As a lifetime member of the Actors Studio, I've studied acting rigorously since 1992 in both New York and Los Angeles with legendary teachers. I'm also highly skilled in a wide variety of other techniques including Meisner, Physical Comedy and Clown, Shakespeare, Classics, Mask, and DE Vocal technique for actors. I've coached several series regulars, both local and those in town on film/TV shoots, and was dialect coach to the Gillian Jacobs and Scottie Thompson in The Lookalikes, starring Justin Long, which was shot in NOLA in 2014.
Lately my greatest interest is in directing, screenwriting and teaching -- I have a passion for compelling stories and strongly believe that we walk among unsung heroes, daily! I will always love acting, but that other stuff makes me, like, insanely happy.
Some acting credits:
Film & TV: Featured roles in Claws, Salem, Hap and Leonard, True Detective, and some other movies you probably haven't seen.
Theatre: Appeared opposite Ed Asner, in Small Depravities at the Greenway Court Theatre in Los Angeles; House of Blue Leaves at the Mark Taper Forum Annex opposite John Heard, Bud Cort and Roberta Wallach. Lead in an Actors Studio workshop of If You Love Me, by and opposite Lyle Kessler (Orphans); Evangelia Callas in Masterclass, opposite Faye Dunaway and Melissa Leo; Ladies at the Alamo opposite Shirley Knight, Rue McClanahan & Mary Beth Hurt; and Sundown Beach, directed by Estelle Parsons.
