Superstitions?
I always keep my script backstage. To take it home before a show closes is spitting in the face of the theater gods and they will smite you with a bobbled line.

Worst Flubbed Line/Missed Cue/Onstage Mishap

I did a children's show in high school and my costume had holes throughout... including the pants. I wasn't aware of the necessity for different underwear and upon my first entrance, my boxer shorts betrayed me and the show became VERY adult as another part of my lower anatomy made his stage debut. Yes, there was an audience.

Worst Costume
See above.
What Was Life Like For You in 1989?
I was in 8th grade and I had just kissed a girl "for real". I remember thinking the 90's were gonna be so cool because MTV told me so.
When Have You Been the Most Scared In Your Life?
I attended a camp and fell victim to the old "Fake Sasquatch" trick. I was so scared that I made myself sick breathing heavily.
Bucket List Roles
I'd give anything for another crack at the melancholy Dane - except my life, except my life, except my life.

What Holds Dallas Back From Theatrical Greatness?
The Metroplex entertainment consumers don't know how good they have it.
Chicago did it right.

What Would it Be?

What Did You Want To Be When You Were Little?


A ninja or Batman... but I think everyone knew the truth I didn't... that underneath it all, I was going to be an actor... especially when I would wear my home-made ninja and Batman costumes around the neighborhood.
