A native of Sydney, Australia, I came to New York via an extended stay in Tokyo, Japan.
I can currently be seen on your TV or computer in the most recent seasons of “Orange is the New Black”, “The Knick”, and “The Blacklist”.
In Fall 20115 I performed in a very popular production of Pride and Prejudice at Baltimore Center Stage. Other regional theaters I’ve worked with include Shakespeare & Company (The Beauty Queen of Leenane), Luna Stage (A Moon for the Misbegotten, playing Jim Tyrone), Shadow Lawn Stage (Shining City), Stageworks/Hudson (A Wedding Story), and 12 Miles West (Darkness to Light, in which I originated the role of Beethoven and played him from age 10 to his death).
In New York I worked with the Pearl Theatre Company and a wide range of off-off Broadway companies, such as New York Classical Theatre, Gallery Players, Boomerang Theatre Company, Retro Productions, Seeing Place Theater, Blue Coyote, and Workshop Theater Company; I also appeared in a couple of Fringe Festivals.
In addition to my degree from Theatre Nepean in Sydney, I have trained with Primary Stages, T. Schreiber Studios, and LAByrinth Theater.
As well as my performance qualifications, I hold a BA in Linguistics, and have helped thousands of individuals learn English in my second career as a teacher.
Over the years, I’ve also driven taxis, entertained children in live shows throughout Japan, and performed in Greek ruins in Turkey.
Most importantly, for the last nearly 3 years I’ve been relishing the role of father to a beautiful baby girl, Astrid!
*** UPDATE ***
As of November 2016, I am a Los Angelino! Looking forward to the next phase of my career, now with added sunshine and less snow…
Unique traits: - Australian-born, is that unique these days...? :-) - 20+ years experience as a professional actor, 20+ years as an ESL teacher. - love working with dialects and also coach accents.
