NEW BOOK!
DANCING WITH THE DOORKNOB
or
The other day as I was falling off my bicycle…
Tales from 35 years on film and TV sets with a sprinkling of moments from a life well lived.
What do you do when you identify as a square peg in a world of round holes ?
For me, a career in entertainment was key.
Working in entertainment, you’ll find adventure and creative fulfillment as you partner with like-minded princes, princesses, and clowns striving to build a life worth talking about.
ENDORSEMENTS
Charlie has a unique story and the best energy – his personal strength and good nature have led him forward through tough stuff. I am thankful for the energy I got from reading his story!
BOB ODENKIRK – American actor, screenwriter, comedian, and producer
I think you are bringing a very important subject to the public. Your kind and compassionate nature infuses your story and elevates your experiences in a way that makes the reader feel included in even the most intimate moments.
Thank you for reaching out to so many others, especially veterans.
VICTORIA PRINCIPAL – American actress, producer, author, and entrepreneur
Dancing With The Doorknob could easily be described as a cross between a weight loss guide (because there were times when I laughed my ass off) and a handbook on persistence, resilience and rugged determination.
Charlie’s ability to view the ups and downs of life, the moments that go sideways and the people who helped him along the way is magical.
