Win's journey in the entertainment industry was marked by both triumphs and setbacks. After making appearances in Star Trek, Mission: Impossible, and Dragnet, he left Los Angeles in 1969 to produce his own independent film in the Virgin Islands. However, his plans were derailed when he lost his financing, and two of his homes were destroyed in a hurricane.
Despite these challenges, Win continued to work in the industry, landing roles in TV series such as "Caribe" and "Bare Essentials," as well as the film "Weekend at Bernie's II." This led to his return to Hollywood in 1993.
In the 1960s, Win studied acting with Stella Adler in New York City, where he was praised by members of the Moscow Art Theatre for his realistic performances. He also worked as an assistant manager at all Rugoff Theatres in NYC, gaining valuable experience and exposure to foreign films.
Win's early career was marked by a series of setbacks, including sleeping through his first "call" on the set of "Trials of O'Brien" opposite Peter Falk. This led him to catch the first available flight to the West Coast, where he continued to work in the entertainment industry.
Throughout his career, Win has been driven by a passion for storytelling and a desire to create unique and memorable experiences. He has written and produced numerous short films, and has appeared in over a dozen indie films and one spec sitcom since his return to Los Angeles.
Today, Win is still active in the entertainment industry, writing and producing short films with his son Mark. He has also been recognized for his contributions to the field, including receiving the "Dutch Horton Award" in 1979 and proposing the creation of the National Association of Film Commissioners (now the International Association of Film Commissioners).
