Some may recall me, as I was in Hunter's Tennessee Williams directing workshop (Auto De Fae). Despite having no lines, being a background clown in Joker was one of the most enjoyable roles I've had in my life, since I love comic books.
Benjamin Moore, Barbara Bosch, Timothy Cusack, Peter Romano, and many other drama teachers helped me to truly grow both as an actor and as a person!
