Teaches at Alan Gordon Acting Studio

"I’m a Meisner-trained actor/teacher and I’ve been teaching actors privately and in classrooms for the past 25 years. My acting credits include principal appearances in Law & Order, Kiss of Death (opp. David Caruso), The City, and numerous plays and independent feature films. I have also produced, directed and acted in a number of Equity approved showcases. My approach to acting is process oriented with an emphasis on achieving truthful, specific behavior. Some of the areas covered in my classes include: building a character, creating urgency, working with subtext, beat changes. I think it is essential to create a positive atmosphere where students feel free to to take risks without fear of humiliation or reprisals. In a relaxed and supportive environment, they’re able to learn while they’re having fun."
