With some training and eyes closed, he secured an acting role in his first audition, an independent feature film "Hi-Riders" starring legendary OG actors from the 1950's Mel Ferrer, Ralph Meeker, and Neville Brand. An on set huddle with the three of them encouraged Al to continue seeking a career as an actor. Over the years he got roles in various movies, including Universal's "Cloak & Dagger" with Dabney Coleman and a number of other Independent films Still In his early 20's, Al discovered an innate storytelling ability, writing his first screenplay, a teen comedy called "Joysticks" starring Joe Don Baker and a number of young comedy actors, Corrine Bohrer, Jon Gries, and Leif Green. Joysticks turned out to be one of the top independent release hits as its opening weekend box-office numbers ranked it behind the studio megahits, Tootsie, Gandhi, and 48 Hrs., and is considered a cult classic video game movie from the 80's! While continuing with his screen writing, Al decided to extend career options within the studio system and found an opportunity at Universal Studios with the Producers of The Breakfast Club.

Continuing to hone his creative instincts leads Al to the Video Game Industry where he discovers the fascinating interactive options of non-linear storytelling at the Dreamers Guild. Using his production and writing skills, he brings a feature film quality to various CD-Rom games, which include Dinotopia for Turner Interactive, Pandemonium Golf for IBM Interactive Over the years, Al collaborated with Robert LeRoy as a Producer on a number of film, television, and web series, including web series "Crime Scene X", a children's TV series puppet show "Noah's Park", and horror streaming series "Dark Gospels". He also Executive Produced his first horror film, a creature feature "Monsters In The Woods", about a group of actors making a horror film in the mountains and running into a real nightmare of blood and gore.
