Expansion. Discovery. For me, exploration is the essence of acting, and I’m always on the lookout for opportunities I haven’t had, roles I haven’t played in situations I haven’t experienced. Of course, as is the case with any actor, my personality and instincts are more suited to a particular type of character.

But, as I’m hoping to find work as a young actor, playing men more than twice my age over and over hasn’t been the most relevant experience. I’ve got the “stand-still-with-hands-in-suit-pockets-and-look-severe” pose down, but for a while I’ve yearned to branch out, play different characters. I recently got that chance, when I played Caliban in The Tempest. This is his story.
