When and Why did you decide to become an actor?
I decided to become an actor my senior year of high school. A good friend of mine was the stage manager for some shows and had asked me to be a part of a One-Act-Week event; the goal of which is to allow students, who are wary of the commitment to a regular-length show, to participate in the theatre. The production period lasted, as it's name implies, only a single week; where work started on Monday and shows were on the weekend. After I experienced this, I found myself in love with the theatre.
What is your most embarrassing moment on stage? Backstage?
I can't say that I can recall a very embarassing moment on stage, or, if I do indeed have some past experience, perhaps I have repressed it. And perhaps that is all for the better :p. I can, however, bring to mind a moment from my high school's production of Singin' In The Rain wherein I was helping with backstage scene changes. I remember being outside of the actual theatre itself, though still within the school and listening to the stage monitor. I heard a line cue over some conversation I was having and it called to my attention that I needed to get backstage to get ready for a scene change. I was in a full jog, in a completely dark backstage, and began flying the moment my feet came in contact with a small wooden box. My fellow techies who had been backstage the entire time, and whose eyes were therefore much more well-adjusted than mine, had seen me the whole way. They'll still bring it up every once in a while.
