What are your favorite parts about being on tour?
Getting to see cities across the country that you never get to explore while also getting to do what I love, perform in a Broadway show. As an added bonus, one of his best friends in NYC, Alyssa Brizzi, is the Dance Captain on tour with him.

What is your advice for aspiring actors?
"I can say for anyone who is an aspiring actor or actress, singer or dancer, that you have to give everything you have to this art and constantly work on your craft as hard as you can. When I was 17 my dad said it best to me when he said you need the innate ability, unwavering passion, and an overwhelming drive to pursue this career. And that is the truth. Having the constant hunger to be the best actor you can be, to do the best of your ability every day, to hold your head up high and an become an energy that no one can deny, and to never give up on this crazy dream, because dreams work if you do.
