About Me

Gringo Poetico, (a.k.a. “Torg”), made his first on-stage appearance at age three, modeling “for the young set” in tennis togs from an upscale department store in Washington, and the acting bug must've bitten him hard right then.

In the Seventies, (after graduating from WWU), his real-life roles included sous-Chef, house painter, bar tender/bouncer, off-shore barge clerk for platform Hondo near Santa Barbara, and restaurant manager.

The Eighties began with a tough recession, so he wound up volunteering in the Army, becoming a Combat Engineer NCO. Such duty is rough on a body, so after an Honorable Discharge for service-connected injuries, he then entered the Postal Service in the maintenance craft. Getting nowhere in that closed system, he earned his Master's degree in Education, became a certificated teacher, and made a foray into substitute teaching.

In 2001 a fellow teacher invited him to audition for “The Odd Couple”, and he caught fire as a natural actor, reveling 'on the boards'. After landing a TV commercial in '05, he was cast as Sergeant Hogan in Mall Robbers, available now on DVD at <http://mallrobbers.com>. The finale scenes in his current project, "The Haunted", will be filmed in summer '09. Both films are headed out to the Indie Festivals & distribution "soon".

"Soon" means "when we get around to it" in Movie Speak.
