(^) How often do
you audition?
A few times
a week. This is the
exact opposite of
what an audition
room is like.
In class today,
there was so
much babbling,
screaming, noises
you never hear
adults make.
The last time
I’d heard those
noises was when
I used to babysit.

(^) What was your
last acting job?
I was a soldier
recently in a
World War II period-
piece situation.
I manifested that
character here
in Movement—put
my energy in my
chest, imagined
myself as someone
who is a bit
naïve but ready to
go. It’s funny,
though; generally
I’m typecast as
a techie nerd.
