I went to St. Thomas Academy and then studied acting at Metro CC, Normandale and Brainerd CC. I did make it to Hollywood and tried to get an audition for Robert Redford's Ordinary People movie and they gave the part to that prick Timothy Hutton. I worked a lot of working class stiff jobs and wandered around the country. I lived in Brainerd, Portland, LA and ended up spending many years in Reno. I bartended at the Peppermill Casino and have many great stories about the rich and famous if you ever want to chat. I live in downtown Mpls, work occasionally, and read voraciously. My old man made a documentary with the local PBS station about Skid Row which you can look up on YouTube. I'm glad so many of you have done well and have had happy lives. God bless and be lucky!
