Highlights

  • I have been fortunate to have enjoyed successful careers as an elected official and as an attorney (Shaker Heights vice mayor and councilman, member of the Ohio House of Representatives and Cuyahoga County Commissioner). I returned to acting in 2008 after a nearly thirty-year hiatus. Since then I have amassed well over fifty film, stage, television, commercial, industrial and voiceover credits. I have received the 2016 Indie Gathering International Film Festival Best Acting and the 2012 African American Playwrights Exchange Artist of the Year awards. My new political drama, "The Bloodless Jungle," enjoyed a successful run at Ensemble Theatre in Cleveland Heights and staged readings as part the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts 2016 Page to Stage New Play Festival and in Harlem. The play will receive another staged reading in February at the Dallas Convention Center as part of The Black Academy of Arts and Letters Playwright's Spotlight Series. His play, "The Family Line," has been fully staged at Harvard and Ohio Universities and at Karamu House (Cleveland, Ohio).
