Detective Clarkson in Another Lost Girl

The Skinny

My first career was in show business as an actor, director, and rock musician. After a journey in professional philosophy, which I still do and love, my talented daughter (Sophie Rhiannon Long) pulled me back to acting. We've worked on several projects together, including Willy Wonka: The Musical, Trusting Chloe (17-time award-winning movie we co-wrote and act in), and Turkey Boy. My recent performances include Scrooge in Turkey Boy (Exit Pursued By A Bear), Roland in Constellations (SLO REP), Al in The Baby Dance (Players West), John D'Agata in The Lifespan of a Fact (Santa Maria Civic Theatre), Dave in Clinched (YouTube), & Detective Clarkson in Another Lost Girl (YouTube).

I was fortunate be trained by Barbara Sizemore (Warren Central High School), Denise Halbach (Hinds Community College), and Larry Mullican, Bob Funk, Blaine Quarnstrom, and R.B. Hill (University of Southern Mississippi), as well as many wonderful directors and actors I've worked with over the years who've taught by example.
