About Me

An actor, author, screenwriter, and licensed spiritual therapist, I'm also founder of "The Center for Conscious Entertainment," empowering artists and executives to create from their soul, and "Scriptwriter Central," training script consultants and mentoring writers. As a therapist, I've counseled people from many walks of life, taught dozens of workshops, and trained Fortune 500 companies such as American Express and Disney. The nephew of legendary director, Don Siegel, I've starred in films & TV shows with Tom Skerritt, Charles Bronson, Elliot Gould, Tony Roberts, Polly Shore and others. As a screenwriter, I've developed projects for the producer of Ghost, RKO, U/A, Miramax, Saturn (Nick Cage), as well as staff writing for Fox, Disney and Deepak Chopra. As a Story Consultant/Script Doctor, I've helped writers, producers, actors and directors turn books into screenplays, secure millions in financing, make 6-figure script deals, get hired to exec produce, direct, star in their movies, obtain major distribution, and win awards. And as an Author, I have two books, "I Could’ve Written a Better Movie than That!" and "There’s No Business Like Soul Business" – both due out soon.
