reality important finding-out-the-truth
The most important thing about my profession is finding the truth, finding the reality of these shows.
ballet company exposure far four fritz georgia grew mom onstage time
I grew up in Atlanta, Georgia and as far as my exposure to theatre, my mom is a ballet director, and she has her own ballet company down there. I started, I think, when I was four when I went onstage for the first time as Fritz in The Nutcracker. That's how it started with me.
career family point raise
I wouldn't want to raise a family in New York. And it's getting to the point where you can have an established career and live in Atlanta.
boys child danced few
I actually danced as a child with my mom. There were very few boys who would dance.
first-love years theatre
I love film and TV, the medium of them, just because it's such a smaller screen. It's much more precise. Ideally, I'd like to do maybe a film a year of some sort and use that to work more in the theatre because theatre really is my first love.
voice age foundation
I knew from a young age that I could sing and it was impressed upon me that if I got a classically trained education in voice, it would serve as a foundation for whatever I chose to do.
mom ideas voice
My Mom is a ballet director, so I had this idea in me that classical training is the best foundation for anything you do, so I wanted to get a classical background and voice.
play firsts actors
I'm really an actor first. I'd love to do more straight plays.
art hero thinking
I find I am more interested in the villain-type roles because they can be so much more complex than just the villain. I don't think anybody sees them as evil per se. They show how close we are to one another. It's an untapped area of art. And I think, physically, I'm not going to play the hero.
character heart actors
Im a character actor at heart.
