Small screen acting debut

Time to toot my own horn. I will be appearing in a movie, Signs of the Times, airing on PBS. It was my first gig. The film will air on public television stations around the country on various dates and times.  In the next few weeks, the film will be featured in the following cities/markets:
  • Los Angeles
  • Chicago
  • Boston
  • Atlanta
  • Seattle
  • Tampa
  • Minneapolis
  • Miami
  • Denver
  • Cleveland and more
Visit aptonline.org to type in your zip code for more detailed information in your area.  More dates and times will be announced in the upcoming months so check back often.


My speaking parts ended up on the cutting room floor. Just a close-up of me pitching at Fenway circa 1928 (actually a green screen was used at Ainsworth). A bunch of players from my summer league team were stand ins/extras. Even my dad ended up in the movie.

A shout out to John Fette who set everything up and is the catcher in the scenes shot at Ainsworth Field.

A special shout out to Brian Hershberg. He is now the head coach at Drew University. He literally snapped his ankle and bent it backwards sliding into home. They used his first take in the movie. But the third take ended up with broken bones and sent him to the hospital. He ended up coaching at Behrend College (as a grad assistant) that fall on a scooter. Scary at the time. The slide can be seen at the 3:01 mark of the trailer. Fette is making the tag.
