All my life ever since I was a little kid, all I wanted to do was entertain people. Sing, Act, Dance, it didn’t matter.
Growing up, I went to a performance arts school and even won a Best Supporting Actor Award in college. My first job was at Universal Studios as a Tour Guide. In an effort to meet directors and get discovered, I decided I should work in a mailroom where I could read scripts and get auditions. I was finally cast on the “Mod Squad”, “Ironside”, “Ellery Queen” and others.
My life changed when I got a job at a brand new record company called 20th Century Records run by Russ Regan. RIP Russ. Thanks for giving me my start! I created his mailroom and a year later, Russ and Hosea Wilson taught me music promotion. My first artist was Barry White.
LeBaron Taylor and Richard Mack heard about me and invited me to join the team at Epic Records. You guys know the rest. I was there for 25 years. When I left Epic in 2003, I went back to my first love, acting. I’m doing commercials, TV shows like “Castle” and “The Mindy Project” and even a film shot in Russia “The Shaft”.
I believe what Mr. Stephen Hawkins once said that “Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change”.
