What They Say…
I want to thank you for being such a pleasure to work with. Your commitment to creating distinct characterizations was wonderful – “Casey” [in Olympic Village] was a hoot and avoided being a stereotype – Bravo! “Alan” had a tough edge to him and Swoosh in his guts – again, without becoming a cardboard character hard-ass boss. Your “Ambassador” cracked me up every time – “I’m not from here.” No kidding, with that accent.
I love seeing a skilled actor at work in the rehearsal process. It’s a treat to watch him explore and risk new ideas. You did that and I have to believe it encouraged the other, newer actors to try the same thing in their own work.
Please let me know what else you do in town – I want to keep up with your career!
