After 41 episodes of listening to me interview some of Hollywood’s legends, past and present, the tables have turned and I’m here to share my acting tips and life advice. 

After growing up in a broken home in Brookly, New York, I made my journey to Hollywood with a one way ticket and $200 in my pocket. Throughout my 35 years in Hollywood, I have experience as an actor, producer, and writer. I have been in an Academy award winning film, Blockbuster film, and hit TV series, with my  most notable acting credits from the movie Pretty Woman, Crash, and Who’s The Boss. I’ve written, produced, and acted in my own film, The Kings of Brooklyn, among other producing credits. Six years ago I opened up the Manhattan Actor Studio to help feed my true passion of teaching the craft of acting and helping others make  their dreams a reality. 

In this episode, my wonderful wife, Diana, is interviewing me. You will learn how my childhood impacted the way I started my journey to Hollywood and the ways it influenced me as a young actor. I explain the lessons that I learned when producing my film, The Kings of Brooklyn, and why it was the hardest project I’ve done in my career. You will also hear my top three steps for those looking to find success in the acting industry, the advice I would give my younger self, and so much more. I hope my story resonates with you and helps you on your journey to Hollywood!
