Acting Experience:

Got his start selling tickets for university shows, and has done set construction on a number of productions, also played William Whipple in 1776.

Top 3 Movies:

Sound of Music, Caddy Shack, Titanic

Favorite Moment On Set:

Cully and Geoff were always being safety-conscious on set, letting everyone know the possible dangers. So when we were doing the "Falling"/broadsided scene with Rufus and Sam, where we are running and Sam comes crashing into us, Geoff was like "Fall carefully guys."

Anything Else:

I love film and live theater. It's all so multidimensional. In the play 1776 we started by reading lines in the seating section of a cold theater, then gradually added blocking, costumes, lights and music. It all becomes so much more: so rich and three-dimensional.
