Born in Wisconsin, Ken attended the University of Wisconsin- Madison where he earned his bachelor of science degree in pharmacy. While at UW, he studied theater, acting and film production. After graduation, Ken moved to California and took courses on advanced film production, composition and visual design and cinematography. He also studied independent film production and guerilla film making at the New York Film Academy. Ken acted in numerous stage plays at the renowned Sunset Playhouse during the late 1970s and 80s. During this time, he also kept busy doing TV and print modeling. In 1999, during the Frank Sinatra Memorial Golf Tournament in Las Vegas, Ken had the opportunity to meet and spend time with film icon Jack Lemmon. The two remained good friends and pen pals until Mr. Lemmon's passing. Ken has been a successful pharmacist and pharmacy owner for much of his life, so it would be several years before he was able to fully pursue his love of film production and acting. This pursuit has begun to flourish due to a chance meeting with Paul Tanter and Simon Phillips of Dystopian Films. Ken has partnered with these two exceptionally talented filmmakers at Dystopian Films and has now fully established himself as both an actor and producer.

Percentiles are each film's standing among all films on MovieCove; the typical film is the median, so one outlier cannot drag it. Percentiles and reviewer scores count the films IMDb credits them on, for now; the Midcredits score bands, the shape of the crowd and the two cards count their MovieCove titles, shows included (a show ranked among shows), appearances as themselves left out. A descriptor is the shape of a title's IMDb rating distribution against the catalog; "most divisive" needs a spread wider than half of all titles, and a card names only a principal credit: a craft role, and on a show a crew role or a run of episodes, never a courtesy credit or a one-off guest spot.
