REVIEWS

He reads beautifully. He is a truly wonderful actor.

Austin Pendleton

Actor/Director

He’s incredibly likeable and I respect him so much.

Merri Sugarman

Tara Rubin Casting

He is superb, he makes the party a party.

Carol King

Daily Gazette

Impeccable comic timing grounded in honest work.

Nicholas Linnehan

New Theater Corps

(His) act drips with charm and testosterone.

David L. Schriber

www.broomeartsmirror.com

(He) proves a pro at physical comedy.

Jodi Lee Reifer

Staten Island Advance

Shark in a suit meets blue-collar bruiser, with tension and tenderness at the core. Played Stallone’s nephew in Tulsa King, bossed Kevin James in True Memoirs, and shared the screen with Tilda Swinton in We Need to Talk About Kevin. MFA + MBA, trained at LAMDA and Manhattan School of Music. NYC-based. Think Wolf of Wall Street swagger with Modern Family heart. My toddler gives health tips, my teen acts 30, & my Warhammer hobby keeps me sane. Tiny warriors, big battles, major girl dad!
