Who am I (the actor)?

Hey, I'm Drake, your charming pal with a wild side! Think of me as a mix between the cool suave of Mike Faist and the crazy expression of Gene Wilder or Jack Black: A rich well of charisma, personality, and wisdom.

Who am I (The Person)?

I'm a storyteller, through and through. Whether it's on the stage, as a Dungeon Master in a D&D game, or just writing little stories for myself; storytelling has always felt like the most authentic thing I could do.

About Me

The Basics

Growing up in San Francisco, it was easy for me to find a love for the arts; and since my parents met backstage at a renaissance faire, it was only natural I began performing at a very young age. Despite my luck, it wasn't until I spent the summer before fourth grade doing musical theatre that I realized acting was what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. I spent the rest of grade school continuing to perform all across the Bay Area before eventually moving to New York to get my BFA in Drama at NYU! Since moving to New York, I have gotten certified in several forms of stage combat, become a founding member of a theatre company, performed all over the city, and been mugged on a subway platform! If there's one thing I've learned from all that, it's that life is an adventure, and my only wish is to keep adventuring for as long as I live!

A little more

When it comes to my work, I like to have fun and get a little messy with it. I've played characters ranging from Tony in West Side Story to Krogstad in A Doll's House, and I believe there is something to love about each and every character as well as the world they inhabit. After all, if I don't love each character and each world, how can I ever expect to truthfully portray them?
