What is the worst job you have ever had?

My one full day of work at Lowe’s.

What would be your dream acting job?

To be able to make a living as an actor/improviser full time. Being in a movie with some big names stars and directed by Steven Spielberg or Allen Berrebbi wouldn’t suck either.

Who are some of your acting influences?

Not so much “Who” as “What”. The world of improvisation, from my improv beginnings at SAK Comedy Lab in Orlando to SNL to watching “Whose Line Is It Anyway” as well as all the people who I have performed with or watched doing improv locally and at the Miami Improv Festival. To answer the “Who”, some close, personal influences would be Darryl Knapp (though he says he is NOT an actor), Ricky Wayne, Marc Durso and Larry Silverberg and the Meisner Acting Technique.

Comedic Inspirations:

Life itself…watching/listening to people in general along with a little SNL, Second City, iO (improv Olympics), Annoyance Theatre, Beer Shark Mice and a multitude of other improvisers, teachers and troupe’s more specifically.

Favorite Film and why:

I don’t have one favorite film. I do love Sci-fi (not Scientology), movies based on truth/history and other films that change the world for the better and make us think and feel.

Favorite TV series and why:

I have “rabbit ears” on my TV set…really, what series am I going to be able to watch.

What were your first thoughts (and be honest) when you read the script:

Fun

How do you feel about your character?

I like him; he is me. I think he will become a more laid back and likeable dude as he is influenced more and more by the station staff while at the same time maintaining his NY business saavy.

What is the best part about working on this sitcom?

Steady, regular work with the same, wonderful people on a great show while honing your craft at the same time. Regularity…important work and important after eating food.

Why should people watch this show?

It will resonate with their humanity while tickling their hilarity bone.

Any final comments on Access Denied?

A fantastic, believable sitcom…a tribute to the creators, cast and crew
