About this user

I may have been autistic as a kid.
I don't recall having feelings until I was 7 yrs old and saw Leonie Harper in my grade 2 classroom.

As a child I was ( contentedly) left in the warm dark security of the local movie theatre when my parents needed a baby sitter.( 3 times a week)
I grew up seeing every USA and UK movie of the 50s:, they gave me my values. I thought
"the hero gets the girl if he's brave enough."
Chaplin and the Marx Brothers taught me:
"you don't need money to have fun".

I split my middle class Adelaide home (taking only insane optimism) to seek Love, preferrably in the form of a beatnik chick (or anyone who looked a bit like Elizabeth Taylor). .

After reading the "Dharma Bums" by Jack Kerouac, I became fascinated by Zen Buddhism so the next 15 years were spent with nut cases, vagrants, winos, hippies, holy saints, hookers, dope fiends and very petty criminals.
In 1964 , I finally found the beatnik-hippie subculture and lived happily ever after.
Accidently met acting teacher Hayes Gordon in a coffee house in '68. He gave me a lot of good advice that i didn't use until years later.

Attempting to become "a regular father type guy" I tried 147 different jobs until finding a good one, ( a Safety Inspector in the Navy stores dept.).
At age 46 I heard of an audition for the stage play
"12 ANGRY MEN."
I spent the next 10 years doing theatre,mainly Shakespeare, until I managed to get an agent (JOOLEE EADIE) and try movies.

Getting cast in film with a lazy right eye (result of an accident) takes great dedication , but i love doing it..
