Now Tony, let's see. I am 46 yrs old and right at 5'8". I live in Little Rock, Arkansas. I am a Beatles fan, and always have been. John was my idol, go figure! LOL He was so cool! People have always said that I favored Ringo, and the older we get, the more that we look alike.

People do ask for my autograph, and on several occasions they have made bets with each other as to whether or not I'm really he. In the last eight months or so, things have really been wild. I have talent agencies from all over the world wanting hard copy photos. I guess I can tell you that at this very moment I am waiting on my agent to call me to tell me whether or not I got the part of Ringo in The Linda McCartney Story. Yep!!! The movie producers loved my looks but had to have me audition on video tape several lines from the movie. WISH ME LUCK!!!
