About me: Where do I start- I was born in Gravesend, Brooklyn - near Coney Island on West 10 th St.Went to Ps 248 kindergraden then Saint Simon and Jude.It was the last of the Italian neighborhoods. My mother ( God rest her soul) said it is was the day Da' Brooklyn Dodges won the World Series.
I hitch hikes across the country at 15 years old.
My first band was Jimmy James and the Jumping Flames featuring Luigi Von Score and the Ricotta Boys-1978. Next band was Luigi and WiseGuy w/ Frankie Rage-1979. Then I played with Johnny Thunders in Costra Nostra with my departed friend Tony Cario no one had a bigger heart then him. Have played on stage with Cheeta Crome Mick Jones and Steve Jones Alan Vega Justin Love and did a single with BO DIDDLE in London 1980 with Tommy Burns and Eddie Von Bach.
2007 had my first book publish Acting Teachers of America, with my partner Ron Rand.Currently working on next book South Beach early 90's.
I produce a short film called COUPLES with writer director Roberto Rizzo, it air at Cannes 2008, very proud of that too.

Am playing with Hillary Flowers and we do all our own originals.All so playing in All MOBBED UP with my childhood friends Rocco De Rubis and Joey Kelly, it like we’re are kids again. It’s the same bull but at least I know they love me and I loved them. I got a tell you it’s fun. I guest you cant really leave the neighborhood.
