I was born and raised in Germany and left home at the age of 15
to go on an adventure and chase a dream…
Coming to America, the ‘Land of Opportunities’ where the money is laying in the streets.
I literally started my journey in the entertainment industry at the very
bottom…I worked as an usher in a movie theater. I learned all aspects of
theater operation from buying concessions, projection, management, buying
and booking films, etc. I went on to work as a regional distributor, booking
films in theaters. From there I went to work traveling all over Europe
licensing foreign films for exhibition on the ‘then’ infant cable television
industry.
After moving to Los Angeles, I worked as a theatrical booker for a film
distribution company. With all the experience that I brought to the table, I
was soon promoted to V.P. and general manager, and shortly thereafter I was
offered the opportunity to buy the company which I ended up owning and
operating for some 20 years.
After I retired, I soon ended up getting bored with nothing to do and I found
myself starting to drink at 8 o’clock in the morning. Since this was really not
the kind of life that I wanted to live, the choice was clear…
I gave up drinking and took up acting.
I started as a background actor and over the years worked on close to 300 motion pictures, television shows, and commercials. I have taken numerous acting, commercial, improv, and voice-over classes and seminars to learn my craft, and I am excited to discover what else this wonderful journey has in store for me.
This incredible voyage turned out to be much more of an adventure than I ever dreamed possible.
