Representation

Teaching / Coaching

As an experienced Broadway, TV, and film actor and coach, I offer a friendly and engaging style imparting acting/speaking techniques that enable performers (actors, dancers) and non-performers of all ages to become more fluid, more spontaneous, more at ease, and more physically relaxed. They are then able to present themselves to their challenges with a light but fully-engaged energy, whether it be acting/dancing a role or giving a presentation.

Teacher / Mentor

Created and taught the graduating class in on-camera, acting, and auditioning techniques.

New York Cares and Family Renewal Center

Mentored disadvantaged and at-risk children, introducing them to the performing arts and teaching them how to use these experiences to develop a stronger sense of self-worth.

Acting Coach

Students include actors (including regulars on nighttime television, soap opera stars, Broadway musical stars, dancers transitioning into acting roles, voice-over artists, old and young) who seek help with roles or a boost in their auditioning skills.

Public Speaking Coach

Students are non-actors and business professionals wanting to improve the effectiveness of their one-on-one communications and group presentations, both private and public.

Performer

I have acted in leading roles in numerous feature films, including Sleepless in Seattle, The Firm, Far from Heaven, and Eight Men Out; on Broadway, including A Thousand Clowns and Eastern Standard; on television in the acclaimed series, Tales of the City, One Life to Live, Sex and the City, and all of the Law & Order versions; and Off-Broadway in plays for Manhattan Theatre Club, Roundabout Theater, Playwrights Horizons, The Vineyard, and The Classic Stage Company. Directors I have worked with include Mike Nichols, Sydney Pollack, John Sayles, Ang Lee, and Todd Haynes.
