A graduate of The American Musical and Dramatic Academy in New York City, Edward has dozens of film and TV credits. He has performed in theatre in NYC and many states in the US, as well as The National Arts Centre of Canada, and also theatres in Amsterdam and The Hague. His one man show of Shakespeare’s Richard The Second, a culmination of his life’s work, was performed in Place des Arts in Montreal, and he is still performing it in special locations on special occasions. He enjoys acting on stage and in front of the camera equally.
Edward has been a serious writer all of his life, and has written a trilogy of novels, a novella and a screenplay. He composes for the piano and has played the instrument since he was five. He lives in Montreal with his parrot Echo, and spends time between that city and Arizona with his partner, the artist Kathy Keler.
