Bio

About Me

My agent bills me as an award-winning, classically-trained, character actor, but I'm just a guy who's taken the logical progression from a kid making up puppet shows, to mimicking TV characters, to memorizing stand-up albums, to Drama Club, to playing pretend for a living.

​We had spent the better part of the last 30 years working in Local CT Theatre when Covid Lockdown put a halt to the plans my wife, Tanya Feduik-Smith, and I had for our fledgling Vagabond Theatre Company. About 10 months later, a friend forwarded me an audition notice for a short.

I remarked: “I don’t do film.: Tanya replied “Well you don’t do theatre either. Do the tape.” 

 

Thus began my pivot to film in The Woodsman.

I’ve done over 30 projects since. Including: the award-winning features Eephus, I’ve Seen All I Need to See, and Take from Me; Screambox’s first original series, The Trouble With Tessa; and over a dozen shorts and podcasts.​

I’d love to say Tanya and I spend most of our free time gardening and tackling renovation projects on the 1921 farmhouse built by her great-grandmother, But it’s really spent filling, refilling, and then refilling again, the craters our 6 y.o. Husky/Malamute insists on having in the backyard.
