Hello Everyone. Who would have guessed? Spent most of my life as a Professional Athlete along with being a Dee Jay and Playing in a Band. While a Athlete my PM told me I had a good look and that I should take a few Acting Classes.. I laughed then and now he's laughing now...Headed to New Orleans and jumped right into the Film Industry. Started as a Extra.. then Featured.. headed to Cleveland and started taking Classes for Acting while learning Stunts...Progressed to lead and Supporting roles. whew.. Did some assistant directing work, camera,sound... Figured I learn as much as possible. All in all I really love what I do and spend most of my time doing Film Industry related.. Everyday! Got Booked for a TV/Western (Big Sky. www.bigskytvshow.com) for a Lead Role and grateful for the opportunity. I would like to meet and network with folks who enjoy this as much as I do. It's a Pleasure finding a site like this with like minded people... Let's all break legs and show the world our talents. God Bless

Hi Rex - so glad to have you on here. I guess being an athlete translates into learning stunts easily, as your PM told you, your look translates into being on camera, but it takes a certain kinda brain to get into it and succeed. Congrats to you. I'm not a big western fan, but Big Sky seems to address some interesting realities of the era - I'd love to check it out.
