Hehas not stopped working since with credits that include TV’s Noah’s Arc, Rick & Steve: The Happiest Gay Couple in All the World and ER and the feature films All Over Me, Party Monster, Coffee Date, Bam Bam and Celeste and He’s Just Not That Into You. His most recent film, People I’ve Slept With, is the gala film at the Fusion festival which takes place March 11 and 12.
