My personal story ...

One of the most difficult things a writer is asked to do is write about himself. Fortunately, I'm also an actor, so talking about myself is easy. If you get bored, please don't feel badly about using the back button.

I was born in New York City toward the end of the Second World War. My mother was the daughter of a wealthy Englishman who'd made a bundle in the rope business. She was disinherited when she married my father. My father, seen in uniform, was born on an Indian reservation. My paternal grandfather was a missionary from Philadelphia and was preaching to the Lakota Souix in South Dakota at the time.
