On this episode I talked with University of Cincinnati Graduate Max Chernin about the moment he knew he wanted to be an actor/performer, what attracts him to the shows he’s been in both regionally and on Broadway, how he’s become a well-rounded performer, making his Broadway debut in Steve Martin’s Bright Star as Max, preparing to make a Broadway debut, New York City Center and Broadway’s revival of Sunday In The Park With George, learning the pacing for the show Sunday In The Park and acting with facial expressions while playing the second soldier, working with Jake Gyllenhaal, why Sondheim shows continue to inspire in the theatre world, his current show, the revival of Parade on Broadway, where he plays Mr. Turner and is a standby for Leo Frank plus an understudy for Hugh Dorsey, making characters he understudies his own, and MUCH MORE!
