Hi everyone, I’m a union Actor. I started in theater with the Meisner technique and in the last 10 years I’ve studied the Eric Morris process at Performer Studio Workshop and more recently Uta Hagen at HB Studio. My passion has always been acting, but lately I’ve started to realize I may need to create my own projects instead of waiting for others to hire me for theirs. As a result I started writing in 2010. I am by no means a pro

What do you feel are your strengths as an actor? Do you prefer a certain kind of role?

I feel that I have very strong stage/screen presence and I’m more drawn to dramatic roles. When I first started auditioning years ago I would take on pretty much any character my agent threw at me, but I fit the hero archetype and that’s the energy I give off so the focus changed to those types of roles (everyday hero).

How are you, Don Finklea Jr? I was going to suggest what Richard "RB" Botto suggested. What genres do you want to act in?

Hey Don Finklea Jr! We're about to launch something very cool just for actors and I think you are going to find it immensely helpful to your process. Make sure to get your profile built out like Richard "RB" Botto suggests. It is the best way for producers, filmmakers, and studio executives to find you and connect with you directly. And then make sure to put your Stage 32 link in your email signature and in your social bios. It helps!

Maurice Vaughan I’m great! Thanks for asking. I lean more towards drama but I’d love to do action, sci-fi and comedic roles.

You're welcome, Don Finklea Jr. Those are great genres. I like Action and Sci-Fi the most out of those four.
