SQUIRE may look like a typical
Vintner, Winemaker and Vineyard Manager, but he also holds the possible distinction
of being the only actor in history to have never drawn unemployment
benefits. He graduated from University of Pacific and holds a Master's
Degree in Acting / Directing from Occidental College.
If Squire's face looks vaguely
familiar, it's because he has been one of the most successful actors
ever in television commercials. Since 1970, he performed as principal
on-camera talent in over 3,000 television commercials and about
twice that many television and radio voice-overs. No matter where
you might be living, he's most likely been in your living room a
bunch of times trying to sell you something. He is still recognized
as the on-camera spokesman for Toyota (1978-2007) and until 1991
you might have spotted him on TV wearing a funny yellow and red
outfit chasing "The Hamburglar" around McDonaldland!

Squire is also the author of four published
plays, a screenplay (that was almost made into a movie) and wrote
the definitive commercial acting text, ACTING IN TELEVISION COMMERCIALS
FOR FUN AND PROFIT.

Squire began his professional
acting career on stage in Southern California with South Coast Repertory
in 1968 and was one of the last "Contract Players" at
Universal Studios. He has starred in twelve television pilots (mostly
short lived), five big screen features (mostly unmemorable films),
and starred / guest-starred in a whole bunch of TV shows over the
years. He has been on the cover of TV GUIDE and photo-featured in
NEWSWEEK MAGAZINE.
His most cherished accomplishment,
other than having a hand in producing his daughter, was to share
the "Sonoma County Volunteer of the Year in Education"
award with his wife a few years back.
