guy first trod the boards as the "heroic" prince in a gothic melodrama, the castle spectre, in grad school

On moving to Canada he quickly became involved in the community theatre scene, and took on roles with several different companies throughout the 1990's. After a lengthy "resting" period he returned to the stage, and realised how much he missed pretending to be someone else for a while, and doing and feeling things he didn't get to do or feel in "real" life. Below are his most recent credits.
