DON BECKER

Don Becker was born in Canada and raised in Burbank, California. He joined the U.S. Marines in 1966 and served for almost nine years, including a tour of duty in Vietnam. He also served portions of his military career in Japan and many stateside locations.

In 1975, Don worked with the Department of State in Washington D.C., and was associated with many of our overseas embassies as a Communications Officer. He has worked and lived in China, Germany, Russia and Lebanon.

While overseas, Don was able to film certain world events as they happened. Part of that history includes: the Beijing massacre in 1989 and the collapse of the Berlin Wall in 1991. Don retired from government service in 1996, and now resides in Indiana.

Don has a passion for acting and filmmaking. Growing up near the major film studios in California gave him the unique opportunity to witness first hand, behind the scenes of the "making of" many Hollywood films and television shows. In his spare time, Don likes to use his skills as an amateur photographer and enjoys working behind the scenes on professional film and television projects as a crew member. He has a vast knowledge of how things go on in a movie or television set. His real passion will always be in front of the camera, as a professional actor.
