About me: Playwright, actor, Film maker and all around creative type person. Acted in a hundreds of plays and played a "crazy' in Escape From New York. Co-founded a couple of Sketch Comedy/Improv groups and a few basement bands. Currently, I create unique, Comedy based Murder Mysteries for theatre groups and dare I say.. dinner theatre. My site is Play-dead.com
I had acted in some very bad Murder Mysteries that consisted of grade school humor and paper thin plot twists when I decided to write my own. Drawing from a heavy influence of Woody Allen, Monty Python and Kurt Vonnegut, I've managed to crank out over 10 scripts through the years. My plays are now being performed throughout the US and the UK.
Perhaps I've inspired another actor somewhere out there to think my plays are crap. Now they are writing their own.
Currently I'm in "Film School" working on a dozen projects. You can see them on my Film Page 100th Monkey Films
I'm sick of following my dreams. I'm just going to ask them where they're going and hook up with them later.
-Mitch Hedberg
Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first. -Mark Twain
Why do writers write? Because it isn't there. -Thomas Berger
To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong. -Joseph Chilton Pearce
Who I'd like to meet:
The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved...the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars.
-Jack Kerouac

Greenpeace here, thanks for being our friend. There's a lot going on now and we're glad you're with us.
Send a message to Congress with this link and tell them you're sick of your tax dollars helping out ExxonMobil and BP. Tell them it's time for a real energy plan that invests in renewable energy and more efficient cars instead of the same old dirty oil and coal.
