I have to start with elements of myself, which is what you always do as an actor.

'Encores!' is, to me, a wonderful, warm, welcoming place, and I hope it always will be.

I've always considered myself a character actor.

If no one's doing the creative work that you want to do, do it yourself.

Even with revivals, I don't really pay attention to previous incarnations. I always just go with the script and with the director and am willing to treat it as brand new.

Michael John's music is soul-stirring. It gets inside the deepest part of you; it's almost a chemical reaction.
