Todd is an actor, entertainment executive, singer/songwriter, and the Co-Founder of
Threefold Artists, Inc.
The beginning of Todd’s love of theatre and his thespian journey started in 1980, when
at the ripe young age of 15 in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England he was cast as Oswald in
William Shakespeare’s ‘King Lear’ at the prestigious Intake High School. This led to
further roles over the years as an aspiring professional actor with roles in the BBC
produced ‘A Child’s Dream’, and ensuing productions that include roles such as Mr.
Bumble in ‘Oliver, the Psychologist in ‘David & Lisa’, Flute in Shakespeare’s ‘A
Midsummer Night’s Dream’, Sir Toby Belch in Shakespeare’s ‘Twelfth Night’, Uncle
Smelicue in ‘Dark of The Moon’, Angie the Ox in ‘Guys & Dolls’, The Writer in Woody
Allen’s ‘God’, Leonato in Shakespeare’s ‘Much Ado About Nothing’, and as the lead,
playing Shakespeare’s King Lear in ‘King Lear’ for the 1984 Southern California
Shakespeare festival whereas he won the prestigious “Group Gold Medal Award”.
One of the highlights of his early career came serendipitously when he was cast in the
Anthony Newley/Leslie Bricusse musical ‘The Roar of The Greasepaint and The Smell of
The Crowd’ at the Megaw Theatre led by the legendary team of Sydney May Morrison
and Elaine Moe.
Once studying at Pierce College in Los Angeles, Todd was cast as a lead in the Tina
Howe comedy ‘Museum’ as the Security Guard. Thereafter he auditioned and was
accepted into the prestigious American Theatre Arts Conservatory where Todd studied
acting & theatre led by legendary film & TV actor Don Eitner, and Don’s business
partner, the incomparable stage legend Betty Ferber, who was a student of the
legendary Uta Hagen.
The executive side of Todd’s career started in 1987 where he was instrumental in
changing the face of the video film distribution industry with the concept of video sell-
through in the 1990’s managing EDDE Entertainment’s vast library of over 400 films into
multiple retail and distribution channels with the legendary industry pioneer and “father of
video rentals” George Atkinson. Distribution turned into production when Todd served as
Executive Producer of the 1994 film “Hope: The Song of David”, a musical docu-drama
that dovetailed into his role in 1995 as Executive VP of Stand In-The-Gap Productions,
an indie multi-media start-up.
Todd has written dozens of original songs while performing all over Southern California
for over 40 years, and has volunteered and worked on behalf of several philanthropic
organizations such as Amnesty International, B’Nai B’Brith International and The
Presbyterian Church USA amongst others. Todd simply loves people, and desires to see
lives inspired and touched by the power of live theatre.
