Who am I?

How ya doin'? I grew up in West Chester, PA. I lived there and Philly proper on and off for 21 years (with 4 years up at Penn State). Die hard Philadelphia fan with a special place in my heart for the Fightin's. Was in Veteran's Stadium the night the boys won their only World Series championship. I was also there the night they lost to the Baltimore Orioles in '83...and I was there for game 3 of the '93 series when they got shellacked by the Blue Jays. You can say I've been there thorugh the good and the bad. In fact I wrote a one man show about it. It's called "You're from Philly, Charlie Brown!" It's about a town that is constantly trying to kick the football...and constantly getting it pulled away. I'm an actor and writer who's been living in Los Angeles for 10 years now. I try to root for the Dodgers, but my heart belongs in red and white pinstripes.

Interests

Acting, all kinds of music, any movie with a good screenplay, History, Singing, Writing

Remember last year at about this time? "The Philles are the team to beat in the NL East" says Jimmy Rollins. "Oh, that's just our silly J Roll." we said with a patronizing chuckle and a shake of our heads, "I'll be happy to see them over 500 by the end of the season." Well, here we are a year later and what do you know? Turns out that not only was our star shortstop right, but he was awarded the NL MVP for his spooky Nostradamus impression. And remember those chills you felt when Brett Myers threw that last strike and hurled his glove in the air joining the great mound celebrations of those who came before him like Al Holland in '83, Mitch Williams in '93 (against the Braves anyway) and of course the Tugger in '80? You felt like you were dreaming. You couldn't believe that you were actually going to get to see your favorite team play October baseball for the first time in 14 years. I could feel the electricity emanating from the city and I live 3000 miles away in the suburbs of Los Angeles. Didn't matter that they went quietly into that good night a week later against the NL "team of destiny" Colorado Rockies. It was bonus baseball for us. That's the sweetest kind of baseball there is. Remember how proud we were of our boys?
