American minor actor and producer who has spent his vocational life in the film industry. Raised in Hollywood, he was a professional musician for ten years from the age of 12, playing keyboard. He served in the military and then went to Ohio state for two years before working as a sales rep for his uncle while working nights at various clubs. In 1961, Sheldon's career was put on hold while he recovered from a car accident that smashed his face. He had another car accident in spring 1967 when his brakes failed and he hit a truck, plus another car accident in June 1977. Small in stature, about 5' 4", he is handsome and wiry and somewhat confrontational. He made his acting debut in 1966 and worked on about a hundred productions, ranging from porno roles to bit parts, from gopher to assistant producer. He worked as production manager on Al Fast's independent exploitation films and produced Spike Lee's first film, "She's Gotta Have It." Sheldon's first love is music and he has tried for years to break into the music industry with his songwriting talents. In 1980, he produced a music video of his own material. Perhaps his biggest romance with a girl friend was in 1978; he has never married.
