Jim is a quadriplegic actor/writer, one of a handful in the business. He started in radio, moved into acting/writing and never looked back. He loves both acting and writing so much he would be hard pressed to choose between them.
He is a highly-skilled improvisor, the only quadriplegic improvisor in the business. He trained with Avery Schreiber, Theatersports, and Off The Wall, and performed for a year and a half in The Moving Targets, a political satire/sketch comedy/improv troupe he also co-produced and wrote for.
Jim hosts/writes/produces a podcast series "The Hollywood Quad", a laugh out loud look at his journey toward success in Hollywood. It's fast growing in popularity and can be found all over the Internet at keywords Hollywood Quad.- Lean, aristocratic-looking British character actress,on stage from the 1940's. She was noted on Broadway for her performance (and for bringing the house down with her tango on opening night) as Lady India in Jean Anouilh's 'Ring Around the Moon' (1950-51). On television, her aquiline features and impeccable bearing led to her gravitating towards upper class roles as wealthy or snooty socialites -- few more memorable than her unnamed party-goer in the dream sequence of The Prisoner (1967) episode "A.B.and C."; and as Mrs. Butterworth, who not only resides in Patrick McGoohan's old flat and drives his sports car but turns out to be another Number 2 (in the episode "Many Happy Returns"). She also had to graciously scrape the mould of a bread-roll offered her by Steptoe and Son (1962) in "Loathe Story", as the hyphenated mother of Joanna Lumley.
Georgina had a rare lead in the title role of the low-budget thriller The Woman Who Wouldn't Die (1965) as Gary Merrill's crippled and demanding wife, who, unsurprisingly gets killed and disposed of in the potting shed. Of course, she comes back to haunt her evil hubby (really, just a double-cross staged by his two accomplices). In many of her other appearances on screen, Georgina played opposite great British comic actors, from Sidney James to Tony Hancock. Privately, her circle of friends included Denholm Elliott and Terry-Thomas (with whom she shared the stage in 'Full House'). Her final curtain call before retirement in Australia was as the lead in the comedy play 'A Breath of Spring' in 1990. - Ofelia D'Acosta was born on 9 February 1922 in Havana, Cuba.
