Al Hubbs

Some actors were born in a trunk. Al Hubbs was born in the caboose of the Canadian National Railway near the city of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. That makes him a railroad brat and he has been traveling ever since. Somewhere along the way he was introduced to drama by one of his teachers and he was hooked. High school plays in Toronto, local talent nights, amateur theater and stage productions became his consuming passion. He gave up the security of a steady job to pursue a life long desire of becomming a night club comedian. With a wife and seven months old baby, he moved to the City of Detroit to follow that dream. All it took was seven years, but he soon opened show for people like Tony Bennett, or Lena Horne and then spent ten years traveling the U.S. and Canada with singer Al Martino. From comedy, the step to film and television was a very short one. During the next twenty-five years his career expanded to include film and TV commercial work in Toronto, Chicago, New York and Los Angeles. Relocating to Orlando in 1985 he began writing scripts for the University of Central Florida, local video production companies, and teaching the craft of film acting. Joining the Florida Motion Picture & Television Association he rose through the ranks to be Chapter President and finally Florida State President. A SAG actor since 1971, he served nine years as Detroit Branch President, three years on the Hollywood Board and the last eighteen years as a trustee to the SAG Pension and Health Plans out of Burbank, California. Al still works as a comedy speaker at corporate banquets and conventions, as a film and television actor in Orlando and Miami, and continues to teach. His professional career spans forty years and shows no sign of slowing down.
