A BERT BIO:

Bert began singing at the very tender age of three and hasn't shut up since. 

Bert graduated from high school as a junior and went on to college for a few years, 

but nothing really clicked; so he opted out for real life experience. He has always studied acting, voice, dance and writing privately throughout the years to hone his craft. “You never stop learning or paying your dues,” as Bert says. 

 

Bert is a long time member of AEA-SAG-AFTRA and got the first SAG commercial

he auditioned for. (Which is no small endeavor). He sang live with Faith Hill & Tim McGraw on the TBS special "Earth To America", hosted by Leonardo Di Caprio and Tom Hanks. He was a member of the "Family Guy Live Chorus" at Caesars Palace

for FOX/Comedy Central which starred Seth Macfarlane and Alex Borstein. 

 

Throughout his varied career he has done many commercials, jingles and voiceovers including: Amazing Clowns, Lotto Bingo, Mad Melly, San Manuel Indian Casino, 

Pink Panther, Mama Mia Pizza & Subs, Las Vegas Athletic Club and Towbin Infinity, to mention a few.

 

Bert toured the U.S. extensively with the bands The Extras and Newport. The group also did three international U.S.O. tours and opened for Bob Hope and Bob Newhart. Bert was a featured soloist in AFI Film Awards Tribute to Janet Gaynor- CA. He was a featured vocalist with RCCL Azamara's "Journey" and "Quest."

Bert's favorite role thus far is "Lollie Gagger", an over the top southern Drag Queen in "Death Is A Drag!" a role he originated and co-wrote.
