ACTOR | WRITER | CREATOR
I’m starting something new. Between the Lines is a Substack where I’ll be exploring craft, responsibility and the work that happens when no one’s watching.

(I personally LOVED and was inspired by Sir Simon Russell Beale’s brilliant performance in the epic LEHMAN TRILOGY production at the Ahmanson.)
