I'm just a stage actor from Chicago.

I feel, as a person, very uninteresting.

With me, growing up in a theater family and having them be so supportive, from the jump, and being a part of this theater community where the brass ring is working, wherever that is, and then to play a character where he's not really concerned with that and is really just concerned with the monetary aspect of the job, and then to be identified with someone who is the antithesis of your energy and where you come from, has been a very interesting and surreal ride.

When you play a character with power and energy, people lock into that and go, "Oh, this must be the guy."

Yet the reality is that I'm a stage actor from the Midwest - probably the opposite of a shark agent.

My goal, everyone's goal is to get better at what we do.

Quitting the show was a complete anomaly in my life and my career. I've never missed out on anything. I relished the opportunity to be on Broadway... It's the holy grail for people like me.
