Actor. I play Finn Buchanan.
How did this role come to you?
I was taking the Lyle

Tell us a little bit about your Character, Finn? He's a good man stuck in a self destructive relationship with an old college pal.

What's the most compelling moment about this story, without giving away any major plot points?
I have to say the
moments of truth about Finn's relationship with Max that begin to prevail in
this play are extremely fascinating.
Do you remember the moment you knew you had to be a part of world of storytelling?
Story telling has
been a part of my life since day one. It's
in my blood.
Do you have a favorite routine or style of preparation before rehearsals? If so, care to share? And does your preparation changed during performances?
I have a hot cup of
coffee and get excited. Acting for me is like getting ready to go
out on a Friday night to party!!

The John Drew Theatre
has never had such a raw and unforgiving play like extinction at their stage
and I think its going to really shake up the east end theatre goers. Bringing
something new and exciting to the stage that many will relate to is an evening
I know you won't forget.
