Trivia

By the time he received his MFA from Brandeis University at the early age of 24 (he was a full ride acting scholarship recipient), he had attended over a dozen different schools throughout the country.

In the late 90's- early 2003, he was New York City & L.A. roommates with Mark Neveldine (writer and director of the mega-hit movies "Crank," "Crank: High Voltage," and "Gamer").

He was born in 1961, the year the Berlin wall was built. In 1989, he was in Berlin the night the wall came down, performing in the international tour of "The Golden Musicals Of Broadway" with backup dancer Jennifer Lopez in her professional stage debut.

He is a recipient of two L.A. Robby awards for his performances in Dale Wasserman's "Western Star (1995)," & "Lies & Legends (2000)," the musical stories of Harry Chapin.

He is the only cast member of "Wicked" to be with the show from its table-read inception through its triumphant Broadway opening. He worked alongside such stars as Joel Grey, Ben Vereen, Kristen Chenoweth, Idina Menzel, Taye Diggs, Joey McIntyre, Carole Shelley, Rue McClanahan, Carole Kane, Robert Morse, and George Hearn, to name a few.

The day before opening night of "New York Rock," he snapped his Achilles tendon while doing a flip off a wall during a rehearsal. Yoko Ono kept him in the show despite his injury, and re-worked the staging to accommodate his physical limitations. She moved him into the Dakota building with her & Sean Lennon for a few weeks following his surgery. On his first day off, she flew him home to Arizona to have a final visit with his father three days before he died. Yoko Ono remains one of his heroes to this day.

He is currently living in New York City teaching voice & acting. He's developing several Broadway & Off-Broadway shows as a producer, director, & performer. He is also in development for the animated live action TV series, "The Wallyrus Show." (October 2010)
