I am a retired stage and flm actor. I write plays, I walk my dog,
I exercise,read, am interested in politics, and have long been a student of Buddhism.. I'm married, appreciate pretty women, like
the actress Naomi Watts. I am a Democrat, and believe that time
will prove that the U.S.A. has been blessed to have Barack Obama
for its President. My favorite quote from the Buddha is: We are what
we think. All that we are arises from our thoughts. With our thoughts
we make the world.Truth
