I am an actor. I received training at the Goodman School of Drama in Chicago. I am also a classically trained cellist, voice actor and narrator. I currently teach drama at Temple University Japan Campus in Tokyo, Japan, my home for over 20 years. Below you will find samples of video and voice clips as well as information activities and interests. Thanks for visiting!
Doing voices for anime is great fun. I get a chance to access my inner child. Monster voices are my personal favorite.
I’m a big guy and I project that. I get alot of work as the heavy or the passionate artist. Checkout my videos!
I am a classically trained cellist and perform with a number of ensembles. I love singing in many styles. I enjoy the freedom of improvisational Jazz. I have appeared as musician and singer in films, television and commercial jingles.
I have appeared in a long list of character roles in television ads. As well as singing jingles including the Long, Long, ManGumcommercial, an internet sensation. .
I spend a lot of my time living as exotic characters within beautifully constructed game worlds I haven't a clue how to play.
I do voice dubs for NHK World programming and have done character voices for Anime and children’s educational shows including Eigo De Asobu and Tokyo Strangers.
Unless I’m touring I work with Black Stripe Theater which I co-founded here in Tokyo.
I teach acting and theater at Temple University's Tokyo Branch. Email me for my hours and class info. Sometimes guests drop by class and share their experiences as actors. Who knows, you may even see The Walking Dead's Merle there where the class just ate him up!
These audio tracks are from tv, radio, cruise ship appearances and movies like “Out of This World,” starring Peter Mullan, in which I played a rather swank post-war crooner. Visit my Soundcloud page to find samples of me playing the cello with my trio. Don’t forget, in addition to on camera work, I am also available for live events. Contact me. Ask for Wally, the singing cellist.
