As you may know, I’ve been doing some background acting on a few TV shows. A few things you should know about background work: 1) If you live in LA, it’s not such a big deal. 2) It takes NO experience! 3) A lot of the time, the background is little more than a blur. Don’t believe it? Start looking at the background actors in shows.

It’s fascinating to be on set though. And trust me, even that person passing in the hall, in a doorway far behind the main actor, was sent on cue to do that!

Here are some of the shows I’ve been on, and the roles I’ve played. Some are new shows starting after the new year. And yes, sometimes you play different roles in different scenes or “scene-days.” Sorry, but most of the time, I don’t know which episodes I was on. Sometimes, it’s impossible to know if you might recognize me. Other times, I know I’m close to the camera and facing it. If you see me, and want to let me know, please do!
