My (Brief) Acting Career
The year is 1999, I had just decided to leave the Navy after serving 12 years as a pilot (OK I GOT KICKED OUT!!!! Can we move on now please? Geeesh ) So.. anyway... after being asked to leave the Navy as an Officer (Lieutenant) I was at a complete crossroads in life. What do I do? Go back in to my degree? (Engineering). Fly Civilian? (Really didn't want to do that) Try to pick up that dream I had as a male Exotic dancer? (Probably wouldn't have done too well... ). How about acting? This may come as a suprise to you... But I am NOT shy in front of people or on stage. I have no money, no family, nothing holding me back... Sure, I'll try acting... Why the hell not?
Well, for about six months I did auditions, try outs yaddah yaddah yaddah... I actually landed two comercials... for a total air time of about... oh... 16 seconds. But hey, I can say I did it!  I was looking through some old videos on the computer and guess what I came across.... One of my comercials. You see my hands at about 1:10 in to it and my big line: "For less then.... " Starts at about a minute and twenty five seconds in.... So, everyone is welcome to view and let me know what you think. (Except Jocke )  I could have been the next Brad Pitt!!!!  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IkQIFRNtX78 |

 Geeez.. No wonder I didn't make it as an actor, I wasn't smart  Let's see if I can find a mod to move it or can one do it please? Thanks, |

My uncle Angelo bought this stuff and he told me it doesn't work as advertised.
He wants his money back now. |
