I live in Los Angeles and because I was such a bad waiter I have been forced to make my living as an actor. I tour with a comedy troupe called Sound & Fury performing bawdy "Fakespeare". I grew up in Texas and found that left me wanting to travel. Therefore, I have lived and schooled in Bali, Japan, Belgium, England, Thailand, Australia, Colorado, and NYC.
I don't like to argue. I eat my veggies. I love sappy period films. I'm most at home on stage. I'm a sucker for old cowboy films and I always mind my manners.
I play a grown up '80s child star in this film: "Happy Valentines Day Franny Canada"
Who I'd like to meet: Other Vgn/SXE, JKD practitioners, Vespa lovers, melancholy music fans, actors, monkeys, photographers, or just nice, passionate people. I'd really love to meet the person who stole my Vespa.
...."It's Fun To Help Poor People Franny Canada" (a film Shelby was in)>
