Q: What do you love about Adelphi?

A: When I graduate I plan to live in an apartment in Brooklyn with a few other Graduating acting students. At the time i’ll be balancing two or three part time “odd” jobs, while struggling to find work as an actor. Eventually after years of failure, i’ll land a spot in the cast of SNL, drop one of my part time jobs and watch my professional life as an actor take off.
Q: Do you have any role models?
A: Two of my biggest role models would have to be Jim Carrey and Paul Newman. Because one is a comic phenomenon while the other is a master at naturalistic theatre. If there are two actors I study the most, it would be those two.
