Primarily a writer (since the age of seven), I've written books, articles, plays, radio plays, songs -- have a degree in journalism and sold two scripts in Hollywood. Got the "movie bug" when I was 12 when I appeared as an extra in "Echoes of a Summer" with Jodie Foster and Richard Harris. I love to act and have studied drama. To date, I've appeared in over a hundred film and TV projects. Doubled for Michael York on "Road To Avonlea" and Liam Neeson on K19 The Widowmaker. Currently, wrapping up post on "Charles Foster, My Hollywood", a doc about a man who -- amongst other things -- introduced Marilyn Munroe to JFK, worked with Mary Pickford and Charlie Chaplin, flew an airplane with Charles Lindbergh as his co-pilot, peed in Richard Burton's stage drink, dated Shirley Temple and Donna Douglas (re: Ellie-May from "The Beverly Hillbillies"), and whose name is very well associated with the lead in Orson Welles' Citizen Kane -- "Charles Foster" Kane. Having great fun with it. Also working as a TV Story Editor and just sent out a big-budget sci-fi action script. My philosophy is don't be afraid to try anything and just do it. Nothing comes without the passion and hard work. Please stop by and say hello.

Thanks Teo & Cleber, great meeting you both on the Stage here. The project doc "Charles Foster, My Hollywood" is a labour of love. The first thing you notice when you meet Charlie is the light that surrounds the man, he is so positive. He's getting up there in age (he's 90) and has good days and bad days. I just felt someone should turn a camera on to his Hollywood past and shed a light on some of the amazing people he knew very well -- not only the well-known stars like Pickford, Chaplin, and Marilyn, but those who aren't as well known, but should not be forgotten, like Sidney Olcott, the grandfather of the modern screenplay, and a man Charles Chaplin considered "the best director of all time." I hope we can find a home for the doc, but I'm just happy to have met Charlie and his wonderful wife, Irene. He's like a real Forest Gump of film history and famous encounters and stories. He's even got a Union Jack hanging in his basement given to him by Winston Chucrhhill. There's not many people alive today who flew an airplane and had Charles Lindberg and Howard Hughes as his co-pilots. But that's Charles Foster. He really is an inspiration to us all. And he still writes two-hours-a-day!
