| If you could go back in time and catch any Broadway show, what would it be? | I'd watch Philip Seymour Hoffman in Long Day's Journey Into Night again and again. I do wish I could have seen Malkovich and Sinise in True West. Seeing Brando or Pacino back in the day...That might be it right there. |
| Favorite show tune: | When I was a kid, it was all about Jesus Christ Superstar. |
| MAC or PC? | Mac |

| Performer you would drop everything to go see: | Tom Waits. |
| Pop culture guilty pleasure: | Movies with penis humor. |
| Favorite pre-show meal: | A hearty sandwich. Perhaps pepper turkey, bacon, avocado, red onion, mayo, salt and pepper. Or some pasta. |
| How you got your Equity card: | I got my Equity card some time ago, and cannot recall the specifics. Something tells me that at the age I got it, my parents probably had to help me. |
| Worst onstage mishap: | I have ripped the back seam of my pants. That looked good. I also had a rather audible fart that I let go one time, but was able to use it in the scene. I'd like to think that was just living in the moment. |
| Worst costume ever: | As a child, my mother made me wear clothes that were far worse than any costume. So I don't have many complaints there. |
| Cats or dogs? | Dogs |
| Favorite cereal: | Cereal. I love cereal. I eat several bowls a day, mostly a few late at night. Crispix, Honey Nut Cheerios, Kashi, and Oh's are a few favorites. |
| Easiest co-star to work with: | I think [current co-star] Peter Dinklage is one of them. And I'd have to say Catherine Keener [co-star of "The Ballad of Jack and Rose" and the upcoming "Where the Wild Things Are"] is a rad lady. |
