Fred's Interests
General
I love to act. I've been doing it since I was in High School. I'm also an editor and a cameraman. I've been directing for the last five years, most recently I directed 5 episodes of Sons & Daughters.
I love hanging out with my kids, going to movies, dining out.
I love my motorcycle. It's a 2002 Big Bear Chopper (Venom).
I love my dogs Sara and Parker. Sara is about 9 years old. We rescued her from the pound, so I'm not sure what breed she is. Kind of a Wheaton, Cocker, Poodle mix.
Parker is also a rescue...he's less than a year old and perhaps the ugliest dog I have ever seen. (but I love him anyway).
Music
Love the Grateful Dead, Ramones, Pink Floyd, The Doors, Social Distortion, Tom Petty, Elvis Costello, CSN & Y, Springsteen, John Lennon, X, the Dead Kennedys, The Jam, Furious IV, Supersuckers, Modest Mouse, Loe Reed, The Kinks, The Who, The Cars, Iggy Pop, David Bowie..........
Movies
Love all Albert Brooks films. Love The Deer Hunter and anything by Preston Sturges or Billy Wilder. Annie Hall, Manhattan, Rocky (just the first one), The Godfather I & II, The Fisher King, It's A Beautiful Life, The Seven Samuri, Ran, Pulp Fiction, True Romance, Stranger Than Paradise, Down By Law, Siesta........
Television
All In The Family, MASH, TAXI, Cheers, West Wing, Seinfeld, Arrested Development, LOST, ER, Monty Python, SNL (mainly the first 5 years)...
Books
Fear & Loathing In Las Vegas, Bonfire of the Vanities, Da Vinci Code, World According To Garp, Hotel New Hampshire, Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test. Anything by Norman Mahler or Hemingway, Even Cowgirls Get The Blues...
About me: I am the co-creator, Executive Producer, Writer & Director of the ABC comedy Sons & Daughters. I also play the role of Cameron Walker on the show.
I have a strong background in improvisation and I've used that technique to create a hybrid format that has been around awhile in one form or another on cable but is very new to network television.
I have a wife and three kids so I'm not looking to 'hook-up'
While waiting to see if ABC brings us back for a second season, I'm busy developing new show ideas with my writing partner (Nick Holly).
Who I'd like to meet: Dead People-John Lennon, Jerry Garcia, Charlie Chaplin, Harold Lloyd, John Cassavetes, Robert F. Kennedy, Robert Altman.
Alive People-All of you.
Happy Birthday, Fred. I *still* miss Sons & Daughters. Please continue to fight the good fight and thanks for great work you've given us so far. Regards,Randy
Happy Birthday to you! We love your show! Hopefully I will see you and Aunt Arlene and finally meet my cousins before I am 30! (That's in 4 years!) I think the last time I seen you was when I was like 12. Anywho~ Have a FANTASTIC BIRTHDAY! Your friendly MI family :)
