| How you got your Equity card: |
I was in the ensemble of Bells Are Ringing at the Village Theatre in Issaquah, WA. |
| Worst missed cue/onstage mishap: |
Umm...so many to choose from. My pants have split many a time on stage for obvious reasons, and I missed a cue once in a production of Kiss Me, Kate; I was supposed to open Act 2 with "Too Darn Hot." Intermission was over, but I didn't hear the announcement over the intercom for places, but knew we must be getting close, so I wandered backstage just in time to hear my understudy crooning....."but pillow you'll be my baby tonight cuz it's too darn hot." I was mortified. Was it sabotage? Or was I just yapping and lost track of time? Sadly, I think the latter. |
| Who have you played on "Law & Order"? Which edition? |
Never. Only auditioned once. For the part of a youth pastor accused of something horrible. In the audition room were myself, Will Chase and Jarrod Emick. None of us got it. |
| Worst costume ever: |
This one's easy. I did a production of HMS Pinafore at Coeur d'Alene Summer Theatre in Idaho, where the show was set in a toy shop. Sounds clever, right? I mean, imagine the possibilities. Unfortunately, it was decided that all the girls in the ensemble were going to be ducks, (WTF??) and all the men would be Raggedy Andy dolls. (Yup.) It was insane. We all wore white makeup with long curly red wigs. Some of the smaller, cuter ensemble boys could pull it off, but me…???? I looked like a giant, deranged, Howard Stern Clown-Monster. |
| Favorite cereal: |
Wheat Chex or Golden Grahams |

Joaquin Phoenix |

Worked at a health club in Spokane, WA. One of my duties was wiping down the tanning beds. |

Something brand new. Someone write something for me!!!  |
