Biography

“ I was born at an early age and was close to my mother.” Early in the morning of April 25, 1950 to be exact in New York, New York where I grew up in the ideals of middle class suburbia during the ‘50s. My childhood memories are golden sweet dreams filled with baseball, friends and family.

My high school years were at a Catholic seminary and it was here that I was cast in my first play - "Hey, now here’s an interesting idea - I get to stand in a spotlight and talk out loud while everyone else sits quietly in the dark and politely listens to me. Eureka! I have found it !” Acting swept me away from everything I thought I was and began to define everything about who I was becoming.

I graduated as a theater major from the University of New Hampshire and began my professional career in & around New York City and at regional theaters all over the east working as both an actor and director. In 1975, a new plan was hatched -I sold my motorcycle, shaved my beard and moved to the west coast.

My first work in LA was writing & performing nightclub comedy but in time the opportunities expanded to include television, films, more stage and eventually even a published novel and a music CD. A few years back, I finished a five year run portraying the outrageous Londo Mollari on the award winning sci-fi show, ‘Babylon 5’; however, audiences also seem to remember my work on ‘Hill Street Blues’ as Sid the Snitch and for a collection of various fruits & nuts throughout the eighties & nineties on a wide variety of television movies, series and films. For a complete list of my work , please refer to my resume page.

After twenty five years in LA, I’ve recently migrated back to the east coast with my wife and son where I’m currently living in a small town near the Atlantic Ocean and happily teaching at a local university .
