Twelfth Night

 I have an interesting history with Twelfth Night.  More specifically, I have a bit of a cursed history playing Malvolio.  Macbeth may be the cursed play, but for me, it has always been playing Malvolio in Twelfth Night. The first time I played the role was with Greenstage in Seattle.  I did a lot of work with them, and I met some of the best people there.  I really cut my teeth as an actor working in Seattle with Greenstage and the Bathhouse.  The first audition I had when I moved to Seattle was with them, and got cast as Lysander in "Midsummer."  I really fell in love with the company and worked with them pretty much every year that I lived there.  When I was cast as Malvolio, it was for a summer in the parks by a director who had played him in an indoor venue.  He would have continued to play the role himself, but he got cast in an Equity show.  I was delighted to take it on, because he was not only a great director, but one of the finest actors I have ever worked with.  H
