About me: I was born in Baraboo, WI, home of the Ringling Bros. circus. I'm an actor, partial to the classics like Shakespeare and Moliere, but I also like Mamet and Stoppard. One of my favorite playwrights is Don Nigro. I mostly do stage work, mostly community stuff, but I have been paid to act once or twice. Some of my video performances can be found on-line at channel101.com, splu.net, youtube, and here on myspace. Notably, "Chad Vader", "Fun Rangers", "McCourt's In Session","Caught Red Handed" and "Uncle Jimmy's F--- Farm", all by Matt Sloan and Aaron Yonda of Blame Society Productions. They are close personal friends, and will hopefully make me rich and famous one day. Or for several days. Below, you can see an impressive coffee commercial, made by my friend Peter Etzweiler and featuring me. I no longer work for King Louie's, because it closed, but the commercial will live on.
After reading your blog about the end of your vacation, I tried to feel sorry for you, but I couldn't stop laughing at the thought of BILL as a NANNY! That would be footage I'd love to see on your page. "Mrs. Doubtfire II"?
There is a photo of you in my pictures, circa 1986, that is almost identical to your old default picture pose. Old habits die hard!
