About me

View profile
Born in Texas,  raised in Chicago,  South Africa, Los Angeles, Hawaii, Europe, and claiming New York City as my own. I have a friend who swears I am a spy, raised by spies... which might, or might not be true. Living in so many places, you learn to fit in and adapt, which is very much like acting. 
Most recently I played a possible husband killer this pilot season, a clueless shrink on the small screen in Netflix's "13 Reasons Why," and my first villain on the big screen in "The Stand at Paxton County," doing wildly bad things with Christopher McDonald. I love acting, performing of any kind really. Whether it’s on the big screen, little screen, or in front of a live audience. And I have been doing it my whole life. I think being an artist is a gift and I want to share it with as many people as possible. While spying on them. Allegedly.
