...a brief biography
Before he was even a year old, Andy was appearing in print ads as the "pablum-eating tax pundit" for DOME tax forms and
Olivetti-Underwood adding machines.
At the age of 4, he moved to the live stage and appeared in virtually every production
possible from kindergarten thru college. If he wasn't in the cast, he was behind the scenes, usually as a scenic designer
or special effects technician. His acting credits include OKLAHOMA's peddler Ali Hakim; Mike Tallman in WAIT UNTIL DARK, and
70 year old Rodgers Canfield in HOLY GHOSTS.
In 1981, Andy left college and the midwest for Los Angeles, working as
a production assistant for DREAMSCAPE, and commercials for Kirin Beer and Sunkist. More recently, as an event coordinator
for Borders Books & Music, he has had the honor of presenting the likes of Judy Collins, Melanie, Ian Anderson, Dion,
David Brinkley and many other stars to the south Florida audience. And the fun of portraying The Mask, Genie and Jafar from
Disney's Alladin, Dr. Frank-N-Furter from the Rocky Horror Picture Show, Captain Smith from Titanic and various original characters
for select events. In 2001 Andy portrayed Lou C. Ferr, host of WHAT THE HELL, at the Hollywood Dog Track's "HAUNTED HOLLYWOOD"
Halloween House.
In 2003, Andy wrapped a 3-year, independent film production called 6 Angels, appearing as Lucifer and other supporting
roles. Look for it on NetFlix!

Crawfish Festival and Sound Advice Blues Festival, 2 of the largest music festivals in the country.
