Highlights include *Taboo American Style* (1985, best supporting actor award), *Raw Talent*, *Nightshift Nurses*, and scenes with Vanessa del Rio, Chelsea Blake. He earned awards for acting, relishing the craft and perks. Retiring after eight years amid video shift, AIDS scares, and monogamy with Daniele, they settled in the Bronx. Now in their late 70s/80s (as of 2018), they cherish 57+ years together, pensions, and simple joys like card games.
