FESCH.TV INFORMIERT:

Looking back and working full time in Aero Space companies, after getting out of the Air Force in 1958 and entering into a small jr. college, major in music and acting and trying to get back into the real world.

I travel across the world working for large companies as a Sr. Tech Engineer Tech., and life was getting boring by the day.

Playing in various dance bands around California areas, I met many great musicians and they taught me, life is hard being a musician in the Hollywood Union.

So, in 1961, I started acting training and enjoying doing stunt work. I met many great stunt peoples, that help me to learn the rope and become what I wanted to be in my life.

So, working on hundredth of non-union movies, doing everything, except carrying the water. I was offer. a job at Universal Studio Tours in the „Wild, Wild West Comedy Stunt Show.“

Those performers in the show’s, were great to work with. I learn a lot the first year. I met many great actors of the days and before I knew it, I started doing small jobs for Universal, then I was ask’s, to directing and be the stunt coordinator on the „A-Team Live Action Show“ at Universal Tours.

That lead me to working television and films in Universal Studio lower lot. Life was good.,,

My sons were growing like weeds.

Peter Alexander at that time was working in the development department of Universal MCA designing the theme park and developing new theme park live shows.

The next live show I directed was the „Action Boat Show“ in Orlando Florida for Universal Studio Theme Park. The theme park designer, in Hollywood design the type of high-speed boat that were going to be used in the water show, and the design of the SFX breakaway water aircraft.

I tested all the high-tech equipment before we move to Florida.

Working with Peter Alexander of „Totally Fun Company“ I travel around the United States putting up the „Batman Shows“ at „The Six Flags Over Texas Parks“, then later Peter Alexander designed the „Robin Hood Show“.

I travel around the world putting up Action pack „Theme Parks Show’s, Co-Director and stage stunt coordinator for a number of outdoor drama theater shows.

So, here is my video on my travel through the live stage shows of entertainment.
