    Before SCHWARTZ, C.J., and HUB-BART and FERGUSON, JJ.
   PER CURIAM.

Applying the principle that the fact that one is acting as a corporate representative does not insulate him from individual liability for his tortious acts, we reverse the judgment below which dismissed the complaint for conversion and fraud and mispre-sentation as against the defendant-appellee Swartz.

Brickell Townhouse, Inc., 388 So.2d 1279 (Fla. 3d DCA 1980); Ramel v. Chasebrook Construction Co., 135 So.2d 876 (Fla. 2d DCA 1961).
