I used to be an actor. I was paid for it even.
Now I'm a has-been what don't get paid no more.
Here's some movies.



 Too many years ago

Still shot from a video I did in 1986 ||
I used an online service to make it talk. I think that if the
young man in the picture could see me now, he would be horrified.

( 14 seconds )

 'Still have all this stuff

Shovelling STAR TREK out of my basement ||
Lots of boxes in my basement were opened in 2017.

( 7 minutes 28 seconds )

 Young, Playing at Being Old

Young -Playing Old. ||
Local Comedy - Local Stage - The play was called "Wrinkles". Not a bad story. I was originally in a staged reading of it. Then they went to produce it. The guy who took this role had to be let go 'cause he couldn't remember his lines, and also claimed some kind of sudden malady that prevented him from doing it. That was about a week before opening. The author requested that I do it instead. ( I was also notorious for getting 'off book' on very short notice.)
( The look was passable, but I should have shaved my head )
February 16th 1991 - 8 minutes 10 seconds

 I also sucked at retail in real life.

Retail Slave Response ||
( The situation has nothing to do with retail, but it's the best line written in the show. . . my opinion.)

 Song and Dance Stuff

Texas has a reputation. || "The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas"
I played a screaming idiot named Melvin P. Thorpe in white pants and big white wig.
I'd guess that this pre-dates Tucker Carlson's "spew hate for money" behavior by 20 years at least.
January 1st 1989 - ( 6 minutes 18 seconds )
'Begins in blackness. 'Nothing wrong with your monitor.

 Critmas 2015

The High Point of My Year In 2015 ||
I can hardly believe this was six years ago already. ( At the time of this posting. )
I put it on this page for quick and easy retrieval when I want to feel better about the future.
I loved these kids from the very first stream I watched in their first campaign.
