I have a true story to share about the celebrated Hollywood actor Tony Curtis aka "Bernard Schwartz." When he was a child, he moved with his family from Budapest to the the Bronx borough of New York. I was introducted to Tony through a mutual friend when I was living in L.A. and we had a memorable conversation one day. We spoke about our both coming from Hungary, having the same last name (Schwartz) and sharing the family's acting genes. I said: "Hey Tony, you know, we could be related." He said "Yeah - we could be sisters!"
I've taken a hiatus from the "Biz" in recent years helping my best friend and working on an art collection I inherited, but acting's a passion, and like riding a bike - it all comes back to you, once you get on again. I'm hoping to get back on soon! Anywho, check out my performance clip from my last gig in Hollywood. It's a 2011 episode of CRIMINAL MINDS where I played Boise Idaho's Chief of Police William Cole. It was an incredible show and I made some great friends, especially series star Joe Mantegna, a wonderful guy who, as you can see in the Photos gallery, literally took me under his wings! The episode's titled "Painless" and deals with a high school shooting spree, ala Columbine.
