Booked AMC's TURN
GREAT NEWS!!!
Last week, I time traveled back to the 1780's!! What??!!
Turns out, I was Jack Miller the seed merchant on the very last episode of AMC's TURN. I had a blast working with dir. Jeremy Webb and lead Jamie Bell. The entire cast and crew were brilliant and kind. However, it was a bit difficult transitioning back to NYC 2017.

Why Acting??!!
There are many ways I could answer this, but have only recently realized it's not just a profession, but a way of life.
Acting is about magic. It's a spiritual art form that allows us to connect with each other in a unique way. We suspend our disbelief and together, identify and experience the human condition. We seek to temporarily live on the fibers of the imagination and not be deemed insane. It's a way of communicating on a higher level. It's a form of worship. It challenges us to reach within ourselves, find the very heart of living, and connect in a way standard communication cannot.
Reaching this magical place is the adventure I seek and the reason I give myself to acting.
It's a communion on the human experience.
