Into The Wild Frontier (2023)
This is season 4, episode 1 of the popular Warm Springs Production/INSP channel show, "Into The Wild Frontier". I play the real life, historical frontiersman, Henry Fraeb, Michael Deni plays Jim Baker and Jack Pearson rounds out the cast as Jim Bridger. Paul Epstein directed and Samuel K. Dolan produced this top notch production with a talented cast, superb horsemen/stuntmen and an excellent crew delivering accurate realism to a strong script. The landscape of Missoula, Montana provided the backdrop for our story.

NIMBL Foldable Surfboard (2023)
The NIMBL foldable surfboard is the brainchild of Andrew Wong and Jet Baroudi, two engineer/surfers from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena. I was cast as the wizened and skeptical surf dude who questions the quality of the NIMBL performance in the water against the ebullient and loquacious spokesperson Nathan Tecson. We shot this Aethia Outdoors production over 2 fun days at El Porto, the iconic surf break in Manhattan Beach CA. Antony Bui directed.
Something Bit Me (2021)
Tyra Taylor-Foulk cast me as Surf Jesus in this National Geographic and Disney Plus show that was shot in Malibu California. This was a re-enactment show that highlights various animal/human encounters that did not turn out particularly well.
Our lead actress, Isabella Olivas plays Sophia who suffers the bite and her pal who comes to her aid is Jessica who is played by Michaela Bourne. This was my first re-enactment show and there are rumors that Surf Jesus wants his own spinoff show. The production company, Renegade 83, ran a very professional and safe set with excellent crafty!
Stumptown (2019)
In the ABC first season episode entitled Bad Alibis, I played the owner of a chop shop, a questionable character named Petey who was a wheeler and a dealer. The scene I had with Michael Ealy was shot in a real custom car restoration shop in the San Fernando Valley.
The Lost Interviews (2013)
IMAGINE... you were cleaning up your grandfather's attic and you stumbled across a wooden trunk and beneath a moth eaten civil war uniform was an old rusted reel of film that read "Abraham Lincoln on Slavery December 10, 1860." Hear... Lincoln in his own words... Was he a racist? Was he a martyr?
The Lost Interviews was an ambitious project created by Steve Solomon that chronicled the lives of influential world figures. The first episode, "Abraham Lincoln on Slavery", was directed by Roy Unger under the creative consultation of noted Lincoln scholar, Michael Burlingame. I had the honor of learning 13 pages of actual Lincoln text. This unaired pilot has yet to be screened before an audience.
