I am an actor, writer and director in Los Angeles. I have worked in the theatre for over 30 years. I am currently pursuing acting projects in TV and film. I have a web series called The Playhouse Soap Opera that I wrote dieted an produced two years ago. I am currently putting together a new web series about canvassers, the people who stand outside stores and conduct surveys. I am also looking to meet other people to work on future projects.

Richard - how could you be in the business for 30 years when you're clearly only 25 ;) ? It's an honor to have a creative of your magnitude in the Stage 32 community. Since you were in theater for so long, how has the transition been over to acting for film & TV? Do you have a favorite?
Julie, You flatter me! LOL Its been tough. I do a lot of theater around town. 99-seat plan stuff. Never beeb a good networker, but I'm trying to get myself out there more and increase my profile for TV and film. I've done a few low budget non-union stuff. All direct to DVD movies and re-enactment TV shows like you see on SpikeTV, TruTV and ID channel.
Richard, welcome to the community here. I'm a girl from the other side ;) Pennsylvania. But actually I came from Germany almost 11 years ago (November 5th anniversary). Two years ago after completing one life goal I started another: Acting! One year ago I added directing! Not because it was planned, but life sometimes goes unplanned. I haven't regretted a minute and love both acting and directing. I'm here to make connections. I've worked on multiple theater, film, and news TV projects ever since. If you ever feel like you want to connect, go right ahead. I looooove LA. :)
