We're always trying to find a way to make contact with the community.
My aunt Marcia Cope-Hart was in 'Phantom Of the Opera' in San Francisco for quite a few years when I was growing up, so we would go into the city a lot to see her.
I did 'Rock of Ages' when it was in both L.A. and Vegas, playing the lead, Drew.
I'm an actor, and I think some of us who are drawn to this work know what it is to desperately want to be loved and validated: to be good at something and not be able to do it; to come in second on countless projects; or told that you were the first choice, but the part went to that guy who had that TV show in the '90s.
I did my fist show, 'Godspell', in my freshman year of high school.
I was doing television and films for a good five years, and then I booked 'Cry-Baby.'
I was hell-bent on being a soccer player all through junior high and high school.
It's about appreciating the quality of our architecture. It's an asset that I want to be nurtured and strengthened rather than changed.
Dad is in commercial real estate. Mom is a writer and a retired teacher.
Eight shows in six days can become very tiring - actually, a grind. It's not that I ever dreaded going to work because I always maintained a level of gratitude.
It's interesting because when you're in a show for a year, your life really isn't your own for that whole period.
