As many of you all know and if you follow my blog, you know I have been working on General Hospital. This year they have reinstated the nurses ball, as it is GH's 50th Anniversary. When I tell you to be careful what you pray for--and get specific with prayers-- cause they will come to light! I am strong believer in GOD and prayers. Well, I have been praying, and I prayed to GOD, being as direct as possible to get a principal contract on a soap opera. As I was sick of doing under 5s, (under 5, when you only say under 5 lines smallest role you can get) and I really feel this genre suits me, as a transition to t.v./film coming from my theater background. GOD gave me what I wanted.... YAY! He gave me a principal contract for two weeks on a soap. (Here is the catch) This principal contract was me singing and dancing. Whomp Whomp! I asked and I received, even though it didn't come in the package I wanted.... As I attempt to get away from singing and dancing, so I can be taking seriously as an actor, look where I end up... On television but back on the stage sort of... I am so grateful for the opportunity, and the fact that things are moving so fast for me here in LA, is a blessing...
With all of that said, my General Hospital experience was amazing. Going to work, being creative, being on set everyday, was a taste of a lifestyle that I want for my life. It was a big dream come true for me. Please watch the Nurses Ball the first week in April, and watch me and the soap stars perform! This years ball has so many fun surprises, and you guys are going to love it. It spans from three nights in April, but I am not sure of the dates. And two of the nights you will see my big high yellow face and dimples looking at you through your TV screen. It is some really good stuff, and I can't wait for the world to see it.
The cast of General Hospital was so welcoming and our director Larry was just spectacular to us. Everyone on set including the crew, and Emmy Winning executive producer Frank Valentini was on it... Frank is a strong presences as a producer, but he knows what he is doing. He is all about the work, but one of the sweetest people in the world. He and his team has put together something I think would be remembered forever, in General Hospital history. I have never worked with better people in my life. I have made so many new friends on that set, and it was a privilege and a blessing to be apart of General Hospital! Actors gave me there phone numbers, email address, it was like a family, they all wanted to keep in touch. That cast over there at the GH is something very special, and I thought people should know that.... I give thanks to casting director Gwen Hiller for always thinking of me, and keeping me employed in Los Angeles. I also a big shout out to Rick Pessagno the choreographer without him none of this would be possible.
When it all ended, of course my cry baby butt, teared up. This time I know why I cried.... I cried because this section of a dream came true abruptly has ended. I didn't want the magic and the feeling to ever end. I can't describe to you anymore how bad I want this thing... If passion can grow; mine has grown bigger and greater then ever expected. New prayer: GOD please give me a contract role for 4 years are more, as a speaking actor, as a principal, on a HIT T.V. Show. LOL is that specific enough!!!! At the end of the day, I am blessed and so very happy...
Journal of my life moving from New York City to Hollywood, and striving to transition from Muscial Theater performer to T.V. and Film actor. A honest account of me trying to make dreams come true. WELCOME....

WELCOME TO MY WORLD
I am an actor, but I began my career singing and dancing for a living. I studied theater at the prestigious Boston Conservatory of Music, and began a journey at becoming a triple threat (Singer, Dancer, Actor). My biggest dream was to get a Broadway show. That dream came true when I made my Broadway debut in the musical "Bombay Dreams"! I have worked in theater non-stop for the past 16 years, and have done many, many musicals. Traveled from Germany, National tours of the U.S., to Vegas, and Canada. I have had a blessed career thus far. This blog will document my life as I take a huge leap of faith, and attempt a T.V. and film career in Los Angeles California. I will document my auditions, my ups, my downs, my faith, my passions, my sweat, my tears, my life. This is going to be a new challenge. My blog will be the ultimate reality serious, will I make it? Will I give up? Will my dreams come true? Am I crazy? What would a person do for love? This is the story of an actor, who loves what he does, who is not in it for fame, who is all about the work. This is my story, and I hope you enjoy the ride....
