About
I am a working actor. I get into rooms that hire actors to be on and principle players in the biggest hit shows in the country. I book work frequently because of what I have learned from my mentor Vincent D'Onofrio who I studied with for several years.
I teach on an adult acting class on monday evenings in Haddonfield Nj. I absolutely love to see our actors have breakthrough moments when they hear and feel their honesty showing through their work. When honest human emotions are injected into well drafted dialogue and the actor is able to insert themselves and who they are in the characters circumstances, breakthroughs happen, and it's remarkable to watch. That is when confidence is built.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I love to first find out about WHO the student is first. My process is based in speaking in your own voice and creating a character based on the actors own personal experiences. In essence if we find out how the new actor speaks and the nuances in their inflections and any idiosyncracies they may have, we can better assess and teach them to be themselves within the characters circumstances, so they do NOT appear to be acting at all. Hence the phrase "acting is NOT acting."
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a BA in Communications Media and a minor in Theater. I have studied intensive scene study in New York City under actor Vincent D'Onofrio from 2003-2007. I then studied in Venice Ca. with Vincents teacher Sharon Chatton. I also studied with Sally Kirkland in Culver city from 2007-2008.
