Actor
I am getting more experience as an actor. I got interested in becoming an actor a few years ago when I learned that
the cast and crew from
West Wing were using South Riding as a meeting place for scenes being filmed in
Loudoun County. In the fall of 2002, I took an acting workshop,
Acting for the Camera at the local community
college. In the spring of 2003, I tried out for an extra in the movie
Ladder 49, I was called to be in the
movie, but I couldn't make it since I had just started a new job.
Although, not quite acting, I participated in the emergency drills at both Dulles and National airports in 2004. I
had fun playing a plane crash survivor.
In 2004, I completed my first project as an extra on the movie
XXX: State of the Union. I spent two days on the set. The
first day, I was a typical Washington DC business man. The second day, I was a press photographer. I had a great time. One
of the scenes was cut from the movie and I could not find myself in the other scene.
In May 2006, I spent two days at Mount Vernon dressed as a British Soldier for a new movie they are filming for the
Mount Vernon Visitor Center scheduled to open in October 2006. The working title of the movie was
George Washington: Man of Decision. I believe the current title of the movie is
We Fight to Be Free. We were filming a battle scene from the French and Indian war. I had a lot of fun
working on the movie. I have a few pictures from the set of the movie in my
Making a Movie at Mount Vernon in May 2006 photo gallery.
In March 2007, I spent two days on the set of the HBO miniseries
John Adams. I played a member of the uniformed militia
both days. On the first day, I was a member of the honor guard for a scene that took place in Philadelphia shortly after
the signing of the declaration of independence. The second day, I was a soldier camped in Cambridge, Massachusetts on
a cold winter day.

In April 2007, I spent two days on the set of
National Treasure II: Book of Secrets. I played a member of
the Secret Service both days. The scene took place at Mount Vernon. I arrived at 5:00 pm and stayed until 8:00 am
the following morning.
In April 2007, I spent three days on the set of
Trenches, a pilot for a Sci-Fi series being produced by
X-ILE Pictures with funding from Disney. The scenes were being filmed at the bottom of a local rock quarry.
I played a Kuzaa soldier.
In April 2007, I spent a day on the set of
Signals, a pilot for a Sci-Fi series being produced by
Roman Pictures. I played a bodyguard.
I continue to watch for casting notices...
