About me
View profile
I’m an American-born, British-educated and trained actor with a Swiss passport living in Germany.
       I’ve been a theater actor for 40yrs and in Voice-Overs for 30. I mostly do industrial films, commercials and narrations in US, GB and Mid-Atlantic English and at times in internationally flavored German. My native accent could be described as clear international English. Occasionally I'm cast in the odd movie as well.
