Why theater?: Every night is different. You learn something new. It touches your soul like no other medium.
Tell us about Hounds of War: Everyone has a secret, a yearning, a hang up. Sometimes we go through life "settling" for what others expect of us and never act on what we really want. "Hounds of War" explores these challenges and shows us the consequences of inaction.
What inspired you perform in Hounds of War?: It helps that you're working with talented people and a great production team. Playwright Bill Holland has written a compelling and entertaining story that any actor would love to be a part of.
What kind of theater speaks to you? Who or what inspires you as an artist?: I'm interested in any type of theatre that has something to say about us as people and how we relate to each other. I'm particularly inspired by such actors as the late Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Al Pacino and Robert DeNiro.
