Moved from Brooklyn at age 9 to Hewlett, NY. Graduated Hewlett High
School in 1962. Got hooked on Theatre at Hewlett.
Attended Rider College in Trenton, NJ 1962-1965. Many plays and was picked to play Evil Eye Fleagle in Li'l Abner in a USO tour of US Army bases in France 1963.
Moved into New York City after college. Among other shows, appeared as The Mute in The Fantasticks for 3 years at Sullivan Street Playhouse. F. Murray Abraham was in the cast as the Old Actor.
Left acting at age 28, couldn't handle the rejection. Back at age 40 not caring about the rejection, worked ever since.
Became a snowbird between Callicoon, New York (Sullivan County near the site of the original Woodstock Music Festival) and Greenacres (yes there is one) Florida.
Now they call be a Halfback because I moved to the Charlotte, NC area which is, you guessed it, halfway between New York and Florida.
Same great wife, Susan, and still six cats--they have changed. Teardrops.
