PRODUCER

I have tried many things in life, having been a baseball player then a lawyer and then fell into the international modeling world as well as TV commercials. I was fortunate enough to have lived 15 years in NYC, Paris and London represented by the top modeling agencies and traveling the world doing major advertising campaigns for clients such as Armani, Ralph Lauren Polo, Burberry to name a few. I also became the face of Gillette commercials in the 1990′s as well as the notorious shirtless window washing Diet Coke guy in TV commercials.

I now live in the Hollywood Hills in Los Angeles with my beautiful wife, Danielle and have been acting in TV, Films and Commercials. Some of my recent credits include Nancy Drew, Californication, CSI NY, CSI Miami, 90210, Cadillac, Chevy, and more.

Moreover, I have ventured into Producing TV shows and Films, and my first drama project, entitled CHESS has been recently bought by SHOWTIME to be aired in 2012. Bryan Singer (House MD, Superman, The Usual Suspects) and Wind Dancer Films (Roseanne, Home Improvement) are Executive Producers and Jim Manos (Dexter) is writer. It is unique twist to the ever-popular tale of the Mob, where one woman rises to power within the crime family with steely determination and ruthlessness, while still raisng her kids and stirring the pasta. I am also currently writing and producing another project, entitled Gregor, which is based on the successful DirecTV commercial, Opulence…the Russian Oligarch and his miniature giraffe. It is a TV comedy about a mega-wealthy, politically incorrect Russian businessman who moves his family to Beverly Hills, where he finds himself juggling his child-rearing skills, his homelife and his business interests with the celebrity and judgement that surrounds his entourage and family.
