Film and Television

This section of my website reflects more of my past. While I lived in New Orleans, I had become very involved in working in films since 2001. While I haven't had the privilege of being the lead actor in any major films, I have had the opportunity to work in many films, television shows, and commercials. Usually I was cast as a "Stand-In" or "Body Double" for the lead actor, or as a "Featured Extra". I have been cast as a primary character in a few independent films and was a member of the Louisiana Stuntman's Association.

It was great being a part of these films, working with the actors, directors, and crew, and just being part of the process. Often times, I would work on a film for as long as 6 weeks, and I'd have the opportunity to get to know some of the actors and crew very well, and became a recognized face on the set. Here is a list of most of the films I've worked on:

  1. Runaway Jury: (Very, very, very quick scene as an extra... this was my first film. Incidentally, I am on the back cover of the Special Edition DVD. The ½ second I was screen, was the same image they placed on the back).
  2. Unchain My Heart (Ray): Featured State Trooper & Stand-In, State Legislator as well.
  3. Love Song for Bobby Long: Utility Stand-In
  4. Commercials for East Jefferson Hospital, A1 TV & Appliance, and Marriott Hotels

  24. Currently in Training... Films are perhaps, now only in my past???

After Hurricane Katrina, I had to make a conscious decision to walk away from my involvement in films when I returned home to Wisconsin. It was an incredibly difficult one to make. I will continue to audition and travel for roles when available, and continue developing my stunt skills. If I never work in a film again, I at least have the memory of the films I did, and the fact that "I DID". I set out to achieve a goal, and feel I accomplished it.
