About Me
I've been performing all my life. Theater, film, television, nightclubs, cabaret and even a medicine show. I'm currently in the MGM+ streaming series American Classic as Leon. I played Barry, the basement landlord in Owen Kline's Funny Pages and have most recently appeared in the film Fior di Latte as the sweet shop owner. I was the late burlesque, TV, film and Broadway actor Joey Faye's last cast partner for a number of years.
