Million BC"

In the past few years I have done a lot of personal appearances
around the country. I was also on several talk shows including Oprah
Winfrey, Geraldo, Pat Sajak, Jane Whitney, Good Morning America,
Solid Gold, The Today Show and MTV to name a few.
In 1985 I was voted to the top of a "What ever Happened to?" viewers
poll.
The answer was easy. I did lecturing at Boston State University,
high schools, middle schools, USC and conventions. I also
guest-hosted with Howard Stern, Johnny B. and hundreds of other
DJ's.
Though I love acting, I have found that I like to help other people
learn how to get into the industry and have devoted the past several
years to that.

volume I will not be able to answer everyone.
