About Thaine
Thaine grew up in the San Fernando Valley on a small farm and surrounded by people from the "business". He delivered papers to celebrities, went to class with their children and his dad built sets for the film studios. Surrounded by animals on the farm he learned responsibility at a young age. He bought his first horse at 10 with the proceeds from his paper route. Acting in plays through summer programs and school activities gave him a taste of the theater.
His middle school years were spent in the high desert where he learned even greater skills as a farmer and animal trainer. He finished high school and college in Chico and headed for Borneo as a Peace Corps Volunteer after graduation to share those agricultural skills with local farmers in a changing world.
"I am a vigorous 55-75 year old character actor. Far from frail but not an athlete, I am strong willed, smart, stubborn and undaunted by those who would intimidate me. I bring a tremendous amount of life experience to my roles, I am well trained and a hard worker. I have language skills in several languages and some understanding of the human condition. I value the opportunity to be a story teller in this latest phase of my life. I am excited to be on a new journey. The world is a mess, I think it is important for artists to speak out and re-trim the sails of human destiny."
