I was working in Chicago, in theater and in commercials and anything that anybody would let me do. When I moved to L.A., I had made a choice to be a character actor, meaning that I wanted to become somebody else. That's what attracted me to becoming an actor in the first place.
I identify more as a musician than as a singer, because I play piano and percussion, and I engineer and produce everything that I do.
IMDb only lists specific projects. It doesn't list theater, commercial, and most non-union work. You also have to pay to upload your reel to most sites, and some places still make you walk your DVD into their physical location.
I believe artists deserve all the help they can get, so they can focus on being great artists.
I want to continue to play characters that are not like me at all, and transform.
I've always done the safest thing, which is to assume that it's going to feel like that, to assume that you're going to feel like a freshman in a group of seniors - if you expect the worst, then it's never going to be that bad.
I did all the musicals in my high school; I was in a pop group signed to Cash Money Records in college. Music has always been a really big part of my life.
I know that you have to be reserved about certain things in your life.
Id rather be with Dracula than the Wolfman.
Pilot season is always crazy because you audition for a million things, and really, in the end, it's not up to you.
I grew up playing classical piano and percussion.
Today's imaginary band name: The Significan't.
I want to do a musical so bad. I don't care what it is. I'm not picky. I just want to do a musical. I'm shameless, but it's true.
Music informs my work so intensely. The better actor I become, the better pianist I become, and vice versa.
