About me

I am working professional actor with performances in theatre, film, television and radio. I'm a transplant to Italy and recently completed the Paramount+ mini series "Miss Fallaci" playing the actor, Joseph Cotton, due in 2024. Other work includes" the short film "Miranda's Mind" with Valentina Belle' for director Maddalena Crespi, the multi award winning "Masas/Sisters", "Hill Of Vision", and "Manaslu - Berg Der Seelen". Upcoming work includes performances with the Plymouth Philharmonic for their Holiday Concert in December as well as Year 10 of touring my award winning, solo performance of "A Christmas Carol".

Prior to moving to Italy, I founded The Bay Colony Shakespeare Company, in Plymouth, Massachusetts, in the Autumn of 2012 and was Producing Artistic Director until June of 2016. During my tenure, the BCSC produced 12 works that toured regional New England and one show, "Burbage", that went to the New York Int. Fringe Festival. At my departure from the BCSC, I received the ARTIE award from the Arts Council of the town of Plymouth for “Artistic Excellence & Services to the Community of Plymouth, Above and Beyond the Call of Duty”.

The BCSC production of "Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol" was born in 2013, (Best Of Boston - 2013) and was named “IRNE Best Solo Performance of 2014” by the Independent Reviewers of New England. This performance toured across the northeast United States for five years. In 2016 & 2017 I returned to the U.S. to tour. In 2018 I traversed Europe, touring to Innsbruck, Dublin, London, Basel, Geneva, and Prague, finally concluding in Bruneck, Italy. In 2019 "A Christmas Carol" toured to London, Bath, Basel, Dusseldorf, and Co. Leitrim.
