I still remember discovering the classic rock station when I was in high school and being totally blown away by it.

It just happens that there is more employment for puppeteers in preschool television than anywhere else.

My tastes range all over the place, from vocal standards to Motown to 70s funk & soul to 80s pop to film scores to artists like R.E.M., Ben Folds, Prince, Annie Lennox, the Police, Elvis Costello, Cat Stevens, the Ditty Bops, local bands that friends of mine are in, and the list goes on... I have no single favorite genre or artist.

If singing a couple of songs in a benefit will help keep the Festival alive and known, well, how can I say no to that?

There are lots of stories in pop music, lots of lush orchestrations, lots of attention to detail. You just have to know where to find them. The best stuff is never overt.

When I decided to pursue a career as a Muppet Performer when I was in college, it was my hope to be able to play a wide range of Muppet characters in all areas and genres of television and film.

The reality of an actor's life is that we do not always have the luxury of choice. We take what comes to us.
