Interesting facts

Worked out 5 days a week during his production of
The Ramayana in    order to stay fit and be very physical for his role as Jatayu. The epic    production was "truly an enriching and rewarding experience", which     took months to prepare and ran almost 3 hours length.

Devoted his senior year at Bard with the study of the Stanislavsky method of acting, believing that true actors don't just act but become.  "The method made me look closer into myself, my desires, experiences, and way of thinking. Knowing yourself is key and the characters you play are always going to be extensions of yourself". 

His first audition out of College was the independent horror movie
The Demon Shells.  "I walked into the room and the first thing they tell me is 'take off your shirt', it was weird, so I took off my shirt, didn't say one word, and ended up getting a part...it was the strangest thing ever" He later dropped out of the project due to scheduling conflicts.

His film
The Goat was based on his own experiences on the Bard Basketball team. "It was such a good and bad experience for me, might  as well poke fun at it".
