Edward Sheldon (Brooklyn)

Former life, English teacher. Now I'm an actor. Started training at HB Studios in Greenwich Village in 2007. My initial focus was on theater: favorite role - Ben in The Dumb Waiter. Since summer of 2009 I have done some theater, but the focus has been on film. My first feature film was Faintly Veiled, produced by award winning Adolfo Doring. Played a military interrogator, a bad guy, much fun. Other films of note include The Nothing Man and Awoken, both forty minute shorts. Numerous other shorts along the way. Recently cast for the role of Sheriff Crow in the feature film Black Hat, a post-apocalyptic western, going into production in February 2011. Also recently cast for a thirty-five minute short called Saturday Post, story of a man trying to deal with the loss of his son, production begins in early March. Acting is just a wonderful opportunity to interact with enthusiastic and creative people, a challenge for the mind and the spirit. Just plain fun.
