...Pains (as a homeless kid), bits in Critters 3 and Poison Ivy--as Toby in This Boy's Life. He is at the center of this movie about a boy who bad-lucks into a stint with an abusive stepfather.

But as a way to spend leisure time--not for me. The closer the World Wide Web seems to bring us together...
