I am an actor who uses a wheelchair. I have a lifetime of working with humans on every level.
Here is some information on roles I can play.
- Robin Williams as Sean Maguire in “Good Will Hunting”
- Robert Duvall as Judge Joseph Palmer in “The Judge”
- Denzell Washington as Lincoln Rhyme in “The Bone Collector
- Jack Klugman as Juror # 6 in”12 Angry Men”
- George Dzundza as Sam Hesselman in “No way Out”
I am the steady kind psychologist played by Robin Williams as Sean Maguire in “Good Will Hunting”. Willing to be vulnerable in order to help Will Hunting and yet needing to have the strength to move ahead in my own life.
I am the cold calculated but broken Robert Duvall as Judge Joseph Palmer in “The Judge”. Having a veneer that exudes respect for the law and repute above all. Broken by his own faulty fatherhood, addiction and arrest.
In the “The Bone Collector” Denzel Washington plays Lincoln Rhyme, a quadriplegic who after writing several novels on crime and forensics is a respected writer. He struggles to reveal a murderers identity using only his brain, 1 shoulder and 1 finger. The polarity of ability and limitation is key here. I am able and qualified to bring this to life.
I identify and see myself as Juror # 6 played by Jack Klugman in “12 Angry Men”. He a baseball fan and wants to get this over with but at the same time has a soft spot for “slum kids” which keeps him engaged as a juror. His loyalties are tested.
I am Sam Hesselman , pentagon programmer in “No Way Out” played by George Dzundza who is seeking to find the truth in a photograph while still maintaining his loyalties. In trying to keep both ends of this equation satisfied Hesselman gets killed, but the tension is real.
I’m the guy who can be trusted with a secret and walks with wisdom.
I am the Doctor who is afflicted himself and reaches to heal.
Fine counsel and family dynamics are my forte.
When it comes to high tech professors, I inspire and bring my students to new peaks.
I can be broken, addicted and still hopeful for release from my prisons.
When it comes to comedy, I can bring a writers work to laughter.
My attitude is infectious and inspiring. People love to be at my table and hear stories of the greater things in life.
