I am originally from Los Angeles, CA, but I gave up the bright lights of Hollywood and moved to Switzerland.
Just four weeks before leaving Los Angeles, I finished filming my first lead role in an Independent Film entitled, HOLLYWOOD CALLS, released in Spring 2009. Other film credits include a supporting role in the film, THE UNKNOWN CYCLIST with actress Leah Thompson and Danny Nucci and a hot steamy club dancer in the suspense thriller, BASIC INSTINCT with Sharon Stone.
I have also had a variety of Guest-star roles on television shows in Los Angeles including, COLD CASE, FAMILY LAW and the hit drama THE SHIELD. Television commercials became a big part of my life when I was cast as the purple grape for a new FRUIT OF THE LOOM spot. But even though I am hoping to make many musical stage debuts throughout Germany I am no stranger to the musical theatre world, being cast in such shows as, PIPPIN, MY ONE AND ONLY and LA CAGE AUX FOLLES in which I played the role of Jacob and won a Robbie Award for Best Supporting Actor in a Musical.
Since moving to Switzerland I have had several doors open for me and the journey has been quiet a challenage. Playing the role of Annas in the rock opera JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR, beautifully directed by Josef E. Köpplinger at Stadttheather Klagenfurt. The musical HAIRSPRAY was my second musical I auditioned for here in Switzerland, but due to me already being casted in Jesus Christ Superstar I was not able to do the show, however fate stepped in and while I was on a break from Jesus Christ Superstar I was called in to cover one of the dancers.
