JUST A CHEESY BLIP ON THE ENTERTAINMENT RADAR—BUT WHAT A WONDERFUL BLIP IT WAS.
I carry a VERY deep respect for the art of acting and those who make a career of it… It had always been a sanctuary for me—affording refuge behind colorful characters and their fantastical worlds. My adventures began with “Romper Room” in the 60s—then with stage plays and making my own 8mm animations and shorts in the 70s. Acting became a career when me and my best friend sat down to contemplate what path to take in the entertainment industry. Our original choice was music, but it quickly changed to television and film when four precise ambitions turned into obsessions.
With my best friend/brother, Trevor Goddard (RIP).
We achieved those ambitions, but the amazing adventure came to an end when my friend passed away in 2003… I walked away from it all and fell back into a life as a reclusive artist. Sure, there are regrets, but time has turned tragedy into reflection, and all of the colorful characters, red carpet premiers, and the emotional roller coaster we created, have become precious memories.
The fact I grew up to fight alongside one of my childhood comic book heroes, proves the adage: “Never be afraid to follow your dreams”.
The video below depicts a few of the characters.
