    History’s love for self-expression and entertaining has led him to pursue a career in acting and modeling as well.  He has worked on a number of projects including Sesame Street, a Nintendo Wii commercial and a Macy’s webisode/ commercial featuring Martha Stewart.  History’s demo reel, which can be viewed on his website www.seehistory.net highlights many of the items listed above.
