Hometown: Pasadena, CA

Audition monologue: First starting out, Claudio from Much Ado About Nothing.
Special skills: Cramming a Twinkie down my throat and mashing it with my esophagus, head butting a ham into an archery target. Both for the same show.

If you could go back in time and catch any Broadway show, what would it be? The Night of the Iguana/ The Boys in the Band/ Moose Murders
Current show you have been recommending to friends: Love Child, created by Robert Stanton and Dan Jenkins. Unfortunately not running anymore. I would have given my left nipple to have created that show.

How you got your Equity card: WASP and Other Plays at The Public.

Worst costume ever: The paper bag with a Slinky glued to the front in How The Elephant Got His Trunk (first grade). Also the best.
