Moi
Hello I'm Ollie! You can call me Oliver if you'd like, but it's a bit formal, no? Dickensian if you will. I'm an Actor, writer, and singer from Little Rock, Arkansas and now planted in the Big Apple.
I started my acting journey in improvised comedy, dabbled in musical theater, then was formally educated in acting at Pace University. I have always been a singer and thoroughly enjoy bothering my neighbors with that fact. Sometimes I get texts from them and yes, it make me feel shame, but hey I sing on. Acting is something I found a little later in life. I have both feminine and masculine qualities that I use to create and deepen characters that I play. My androgynous looks allow me to play with the spectrum of gender and sexuality, which I do both in character and in life.
When I create my own work, I tend to write and perform comedy. I like funny little people with funny little voices, what can I say? Check out my most recent projects on the Media page, or click on More on the toolbar to watch "The Experts".
Outside of acting I will almost certainly have an art project on the back burner. I like to create imaginary plants and animals. A bush made of eyeballs, a bird wearing high heels, that sort of thing. I also like portraiture, they make great gifts. People really eat up personalized paintings of their dog. I'm currently illustrating the images of a children's book I've written about birds and bullying.

If there are no further questions, I say we break for 15 and I'll see you back here refreshed, ready to rock and roll.
