About Me
I retired from the airline business in 2015 and I thought I’d have a quiet retirement. But then I discovered acting…. I was busy doing background for five years and as I approached my 70th birthday I decided it was now or never.
I began taking acting classes at Actors Bridge in Nashville, using the Meisner technique. I’ve found that I have a niche as an older actor where I am often cast as a grandfather, a cowboy or a farmer.
In 2024 I died five times, I killed eight people and I levitated.
Crazy retirement, huh?
Filmography
The railroad’s beloved hobo is left to die and discarded by the Sheriff and others following a train collision in Springfield,TN in 1948. Now, he is exacting justice on the relatives of the people who left him to die that dreadful night.
2025 - Peace, Love, and Cowboys
I play a farmer/husband who is caring for his wife (played by my wife Laura), who suffers from dementia. When their granddaughter plays an old familiar tune on the piano she is able to remember her past and her family.
Lainey Wilson’s song just fits my character.
2025 - The Christmas Song
