Greg Kramer is a veteran of the stage and screen with many noteworthy -- some might say infamous -- roles under his belt. On television, he's portrayed Rip Rowdy in TALES FROM THE NEVERENDING STORY, Screed in FOREVER KNIGHT, and Mr. Murphy in ONCE A THIEF, to name a few. On stage, he has been even more diverse, having played everyone from the gruesome Gollum in T.R.R. Tolken's THE HOBBIT to the handsome hero Petruchio in William Shakespeare's THE TAMING OF THE SHREW. In 1994, he appeared in two shows that were nominated for the Chalmers Award, TALES OF THE PARKSIDE and DITCH. Ditch, a two-man play about the doomed Franklin expedition, won the award.

Kramer is a published author with numerous plays, novels, and short stories to his credit. His first novel tHE pURSEMONGER oF fUGU was short-listed for the 1996 City of Toronto Book Awards. In addition, he is a well-respected director of the stage, once garnering a Dora Award Nomination for THE PERSECUTION AND ASSASSINATION OF JEAN-PAUL MARAT AS PERFORMED BY THE INMATES OF THE ASYLUM AT CHARENTON UNDER THE DIRECTION OF THE MARQUIS DeSADE.   [ "Have you seen it?  No, but I've read the title!" ]

But, let us not forget the man himself. Kramer is an avid cruciverbalist, an accomplished pianist, an amazing magician, prestidigitator, graphic artist, and thaumaturgist -- just an all-round charming bloke. What does a man with this much talent have to say? "Use it or lose it!" I say, it's a privilege to witness even a fraction of it!

Thank you, Greg Kramer, for sharing your multi-faceted talents and inspiring us to do whatever it is we can imagine.
