About me: Where to start. Have a house in Pennsylvania and a room in Hollywood. I usually rise at 6am, chomp down my KIX or Bran Flakes and eat two wheat toasts. Then spend most of the day at the Musician's Institute perfecting my voice and learning guitar and piano. I sing 17th and 18th Italian songs, but now I am singing rock, country, and pop.I'm changing from classical singing to acoustic guitar and pop for a while. And finally after a year the screenplay for my book "Target America" is done." So much work to be done. Well, the extent of my cooking is boiling pasta, then microwaving two hot-dogs and then putting on the sauce and the hot-sauce. Recently went to Florida where I taped an Invest In America commercial for Golden Disney. It should be on National and International TV soon. In the "God Complex" filmed a few months ago I killed the cult leader, but unfortunately he came back to life and forced me to repent. Recently I played a mob thug on "The Monk" and played Ben's dad in a whacky wedding movie. Also we filmed a comedy skit at The Comedy Theater in Sherman Oaks called "Mime This." Fun working with my friend Justin Prentice, a rising young star in Hollywood. Only other thing that popped up was was an extra part on "Hung," and the Mijo video promoting the book Mijo which is now up for The Los Angeles Film Festival. Cheers!
