Born in Marietta Georgia, Cramer has also lived in Florida, Texas, and Tennessee, where he graduated from Franklin High School. After a six year tour of duty in the US Air Force, Cramer came to Hollywood. All the "credits" on his acting resume were fake when he got his first film job on the Joel Silver/ Denzel Washington actioner Ricochet (1991). All his scenes were opposite John Lithgow. Cramer continues to pursue his acting as well as a feldgling writing career. He has recently completed writing a television pilot entitled "The Pentagon" as well as a feature film script entitled "Miller's Prize" about a WWII pilot shot down over northern Italy. This story is based on true events Cramer learned of while stationed 60 miles north of Venice, Italy during his Air Force tour.
