Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania - the youngest of three boys. Keith was a normal Western PA boy; he breathed, ate, drank, dreamt, and oozed football, he loved to play ball. He also had a knack for entertaining whomever, whenever, wherever he could, whether cracking a joke or singing a song. Keith was most happy when someone was laughing or being entertained because of my antics. He was first "officially" involved in the "Entertainment World" as a 5th grader when he sang with the Pittsburgh Symphony, leading him into musicals. In high school he played the supporting role in The Music Man and the lead in Fiddler on the Roof. Out of high school he toured the US, Canada, and Europe singing with The Continental Singers for 4 months, after the tour he left the group and joined the Navy starting a family. Keith married and took 7 years off, started his family and built a "traditional" career and didn't do a thing except sing in the shower, all the while his father would call and say, "Son, God gave you a talent - now get out there and use it!!" When his father passed in 1997, he made a promise to his Dad to pick acting back up. So the following year, with a wife, a job, and two kids, he auditioned for a community theatre show and got cast. Quality of the production was disappointing, but he was on stage acting and singing, which he loved!!! Over the next few years he did some more community shows and was becoming discouraged about the idea of a long-term acting career, when he learned of auditions for a professional theatre. He went to the audition, sang his song and low-and-behold got cast. Keith has since done many shows with the Virginia Musical Theatre; roles include Col. Thomas McKean in 1776, and Governor/Innkeeper in Man of LaMancha. While doing musicals Keith got to know local and New York actors, directors and Jeff Meredith (producer of VMT) who all taught him a great deal about the real world of acting, the "Entertainment World". (People like to call that Networking) Encouraged by many to pursue on-camera work he mailed his headshot to New Dominion Pictures and low-and-behold when the casting director 'Jefferson Lindquist ` opened the envelope called and cast him in the guest lead role for an _ The F.B.I. Files (1999 TV series) [1999-2005]_ episode on the spot. That was the start, and his career has blossomed from that day. In just a short few years Keith has worked with a number of talents actors some who are building there careers and some who are seasoned pros.
