| Kieran Campion |
| Full given name: | Kieran James Campion |
| Hometown: | Etna, NH |
| Audition monologue: | Fortunately, I haven't used a monologue in ages. I used to do Cassius from Julius Caesar. |
| Special skills: | I've got a pretty decent slap shot. |
| First Broadway show ever saw: | Cats - age 12 |
| If you could go back in time and catch any Broadway show, what would it be? | Brando in Streetcar |
| Favorite show tune: | Anything sung by puppets or Muppets |
| Most played song on your iPod: | "The Gloating Sun" by The Shins |
| One CD you couldn't live without: | Radiohead - "Kid A" |
| Last book you read: | "The White Tiger" by Aravind Adiga |
| Must-see TV show: | "30 Rock" |
| Last good movie you saw: | "Tropic Thunder" on demand. I would watch Robert Downey Jr. read the newspaper. |
| Favorite board game: | Scrabble |
| Performer you would drop everything to go see: | Philip Seymour Hoffman |
| Pop culture guilty pleasure: | VH1's "I love the _ " - great treadmill TV |
| First stage kiss: | Eighth grade. Neil Simon's Fools - her breath smelled like peanut butter. |
| Favorite pre-/post-show meal: | Pre: soup and a smoothie. Post: Anything I can shovel into my mouth in front of "Sportscenter." |
| How you got your Equity card: | The World of Mirth Off-Broadway. I played a carnie. |
| Worst onstage mishap: | College production of Chekhov's The Proposal. I got a nosebleed five minutes into the show. My character doesn't leave the stage. By the end of the 40-minute play, the set looked like a crime scene. |
| Who have you played on "Law & Order"? Which edition? | "SVU": Seth Wolford III. If you've got roman numerals after your name, you know you're going down. |
| Worst costume ever: | Stage directions: Paul is squatting on the floor wearing only white briefs... he mimics doing squats... use your imagination. |
| Favorite cereal: | For breakfast: Oatmeal, not the instant kind. For dessert: Barbara's Peanut Butter Puffins |
| Worst job you ever had: | Waiter at a country club - ever see "Caddyshack?" |
| TV or commercial gig you most enjoyed: | "Law and Order: SVU." Any role that involves being pulled out of bed with two women and thrown into a wall by Ice - T is good in my book. |
| Leading man role you've been dying to play | Jamie Tyrone in Long Day's Journey into Night |
