Lester on BEAKMAN'S WORLD

Mark Ritts starred as Lester, a disgruntled actor in a rat suit who reluctantly helped Beakman with his experiments and traded barbs with Josie, Liza and Phoebe.

For many years, Mark was a successful writer-producer-director of the big events major corporations stage to motivate and inform employees and to launch new products. He also produced and directed many independent videos and television spots as President of Mark Ritts Productions, Inc.

After moving to California from the New York area in 1994, Mark wrote and produced a Barney the Dinosaur special for Fox, as well as a one-hour prime-time documentary for PBS on microbiology. More recently, he made a major high-definition documentary for Merck & Co., and his critically-acclaimed DVD for boaters, Cast Off for Catalina, is available at most marine retailers and at Amazon.com. He also directed the Court TV series, North Mission Road.
