The Wizard's History in Theater

The Village Wizard's first stage performance was in his grammar school's Bicentennial pageant portraying both Ben Franklin and the Narrator. When a teacher asked him to "improvise" in order to cover a backstage emergency, the future wizard launched into a tight five minute improv comedy set. In retrospect, this was not what the teacher was looking for.

My other film and TV projects have been as The Village Wizard rather than scripted shows. I really enjoy film work and am eager to audition for more film parts. Let me know if you need an aging barbarian, biker, wizard or (apparently) attorney. :-)
