- IMDb mini biography by: Anonymous
- In high school he was known to carry his work off stage (never breaking character) engaging in activities such as improvisations and private moments.
- Mentored by the great Russian actor Sergey Dreyden , of the Moscow Art Theatre and star of the Alexander Sokurov masterpiece, Russian Ark.
- Pounded a midnight beat for over a month in the projects of Red Hook, Brooklyn, while preparing for his role in the play, "Nightswimming".
- Temporarily damaged veins in both hands when he punched the ground in "heads or tails".
- Starred with Anna Chlumsky in the New York revival of Lanford Wilson's classic play Balm in Gilead.
- That's one thing Lily (Lily Lodge, co-founder of the Actors Conservatory) always pressed home. She said she doesn't train actors, she trains artists. Unfortunately, artists who enter their art into this profession today are often very, very lonely.
- I've been heavily influenced by a handful of artists. I mean really impacted. I don't think enough young artists, particularly actors, pay enough attention to Marlon Brando. The contribution of his genius is immeasurable... But there are two artists who truly stand out in their impressions upon me: Andy Goldsworthy, the environmental artist and Al Pacino. If I had a tenth of the talent of Al Pacino I'd be in heaven.
- Creativity nurtures spontaneity, not the opposite.
- "One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest" was a significant play for me because I was very serious about cultivating my craft even then... I remember during my sophomore, junior, senior years in high school I used to sit alone in the theater office, drink coffee, and read Stanislavsky, Boleslavsky, etc... These books collected dust in the school library but I relished them.
- Technique is an artist's mechanism of discovery. Art is the application of that discovery.
