Aspiration
(updated on 10.29.2002)

Greetings and welcome to my profile!

Working with Dan Pico (Spoils and Two Days Limbo) were great experiences. As was doing a stint for Carlos (aka Charlie) Brown on Goondie Gomez.

I'm looking forward to seeing the Limbo trailer. I should be up and running any time now!

My current aspiration is to raise the stakes on my work. That's why I moved to LA this fall. I payed my dues in Chicago and now I'm ready to pursue more lucrative and higher profile work out here in the land of fun and sun. I've already gotten a nice role in a play called The Genius that will be running this winter here in LA. More details will follow as the production dates approach.

You can always contact me at this email address: chux@pobox.com or on my cell phone --- 818.415.6996.

Thanks again for your time,

Charles Picard
