“The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.”

About me: I love what I do. I am both an actor and special effects make-up artist...I own and operate a make-up effects studio called Optic Nerve Studios and we handle all of the make-up effects on Heroes, CSI:NY and many other shows and films. I am passionate, sometimes impetuous. I loath disloyal friends and detest hollow, insincere, unlearned people. I adore intelligent, genuine, guileless people with open minds and unyielding moral compasses; those in possession of said qualities whom I meet become my family. For them there is nothing that I will not do. I abhor those who use the term “open minded” in lieu of spineless, fawning, impotent or sycophantic and I assure you that I am not to be counted among them.
I delight in meeting people with a palpable enthusiasm who are armed with the tangible knowledge to explain why and what they feel; I say this without regard to whether I happen to agree with them or not. I have an insatiable appetite for knowledge, particularly regarding those topics for which I have a penchant. I am sometimes overly opinionated, but only about things of which I know much. I remain reticent on the myriad topics of which I know little (take for instance, sports, reality television, etc.). My predisposition for dogged determination and unyielding attitudes can often create a visage of obstinance. I have read enough in my time to know that obstinate is synonymous with narrow-minded, and I am wholly aware of the irony created by this admission in light of my previous dissertation on the “open minded” individual.
I cherish the English Language and lament its inexorable demise. I am as adamant about my beliefs as I am devoted to my friends, and if ever either of those characteristics shall falter I shall cease to truly be me. I am somewhat of a self admitted anglophile, as well as an occasional misanthrope; but certainly nothing if not an anachronism. I am an artist...I engage in an endless pursuit of proficiency and recognition as actor, poet, author, painter, sculptor, philosopher, and musician. I am neither delusional nor narcissistic enough to believe that I am skilled in all of the aforementioned areas and it is that recognition that serves as the impetus for my ceaseless quest.
I am fortunate enough to have transformed my infatuation with art into an occupation. As I said I work as a special effects make-up artist in Los Angeles. Corpses and monsters and the like...it just doesn’t get any better than that. I have met with limited successes in what is considered the acting “profession” here... including co-starring roles on several television programs such as The Shield, Charmed, Committed, Scrubs, as well as a few film parts including my favorite role in the first Pirates of the Caribbean. My enthusiasm for acting is boundless, but my tolerance for the system that serves as the professional aspect of this particular art is limited at best. That being said, I savour the brilliant artists I have met in Los Angeles and fully realize that the dualistic nature of the city is no different than that of man himself. I revel in serendipity and submit that there is far too little of it in today’s world due to the wearing thin of the dreams that birth it.
Who I'd like to meet: John Dee, Einstein, Jack Parsons, Bosch, H.R. Giger, Peter Cushing, A.E. Crowley, Manly Palmer Hall, Nicolas Flamel, King Solomon, Doc Holliday, Marquis de Sade, The Mad Arab Abdul Alhazred, Pieter Brueghel the Elder, Jan van Eyck, Azazel, Friedrich Nietzsche, Doré, Vincent Price, Prometheus, Narcissus, Leviathan, Hermes Trismegistus, Pan, Osiris, Nyarlathotep, and someday...when I am ready...my true self.
I love the way u write. Finally someone that stimulates my senses that has no need to. Kudos on ur keen sense of honing in on just the right words to convey the very things those run far away from... I hope u dont mind the invasion of ur territory..hehe
