I'm an actor and writer living in New Orleans. I've been around for a while, started out in Los Angeles when I was 19. Did quite a bit of theatre there and around the world. For 8 years I paid my all my bills as an actor on tour. I came to NOLA a few years back and I've had a little bit of success lately, co-starring last year on Salem and Devious Maids. I also had a small part in the new Joe Dirt 2 film. And this just in I've booked NCIS New Orleans. Going to shoot on 1/7, Happy New Year! But my real passion is as a writer. My new project is enormous. I've written the pilot for a new show of historical fiction set and centered on New Orleans. I would love to get an entire first season written and push it as an entire project. So if there are any writers in New Orleans who might want to help me get out 10-12 episodes, let's talk. I'd be happy to show you the pilot and look at samples of your work. I believe this show could be as big if not bigger than Boardwalk Empire or Deadwood.
