My Type
I play those awkward yet charming young leading men.
They're endearing. They're scrappy. They're passionate and vulnerable. And they usually have the best of intentions. But they're also often the character to whom the rest of the characters want to give a good kick in the pants. They might stick their foot in their mouth, but that allows the audience to laugh, and see just how human these young men are.
Some examples?
My Type is very similar to Actors like:
-Miles Teller (Whiplash/Top Gun: Maverick)
-Chris Perfetti (Abbott Elementary)
-Patrick J. Adams (Suits)
-John Gallagher Jr. (The Newsroom/Short Term 12)
Some Adjectives to describe what I bring to the characters I play are:
-Earnest
-Passionate
-Fast Talking
-Mischievous
-Loyal
-Vulnerable
I thrive in projects with fast-paced dialogue, complex subject material, and self-deprecating comedy:
(Succession, The Newsroom, Suits, Catch 22, Abbott Elementary,
The Pitt, Moneyball, The West Wing, The Big Short, etc.)
MY MISSION
My Mission is to Bring Goodness to the Characters
You wouldn't Expect to be Good.
My art is driven by an obsession with a question: "Who gets to tell our story? and how does that telling frame how we are received and remembered?" Because of this, I am drawn to the complex, deeply human and deeply flawed characters that often get written off in the telling of their stories and by the world around them.
The Conflicted Cop/Soldier
The Ambitious Young Lawyer
The Prodigal Son
The Out-of-Control Best Friend
I am drawn to the responsibility of being a steward for these characters and their stories, giving my voice over to them. I hope by doing so I give the stories of those we write off a chance to be written back in.
