| Hometown: | Pasadena, CA |
| Zodiac sign: | Aquarius |
| 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. |
| First Broadway show ever saw: | Angels in America |
| 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. |
