1. The ‘Arrow’ thing happened really quickly.
2. For a while, I was all sports all the time. Then, as I started to get into theater, they dropped away, but I hung on tight with a highly competitive Ultimate Frisbee team. It was probably less intense than I remember, but it was fun.
3. I had a wonderful home life. My parents are the ultimate, wonderful supporters, so there was never a moment where I felt like I had to get away.
4. I would be so happy to be back on ‘Arrow’ or on ‘Legends of Tomorrow,’ in whatever capacity.
5. We all have friends and family who see one path for us, and we go a different path, and it’s not necessarily what they would have wanted.
6. I’ve always been a huge John Guare fan. But Edward Albee — he just can’t be beat.
7. ‘Miss Saigon’ was my first professional show. It was one of the first regional productions of ‘Miss Saigon.’
8. I’m from St. Louis and grew up going to The Muny.

10. My family — my brothers and I especially — like dinners out and are really adventurous with food.
11. Touring is great because I love to travel.

14. I just never thought I’d have, like… fans, I guess?
15. I like to pick out a certain part of each show I’m in and I watch it when I’m not onstage or in my dressing room. I’ll go down to the stage and watch that part of the show each night.
16. I got into theatre kinda late by some standards, and I sorta fell into it. I had broken my ankle playing football, and my high school was doing a production of ‘Barnum.’ I could juggle, and my mom really wanted to get me out of the house. She said since I wasn’t playing football and couldn’t wrestle, maybe I should audition for the show.
17. So many people have told me that ‘Wicked’ is their first musical ever and that they’re hooked for life. I’m like, ‘Wow, you really got it right when you picked this show to be your first one.’
18. Being at the show, watching people do what they do so well, hearing a full orchestra, and hearing beautiful music? There’s nothing better.
19. In the past, I’ve done some covering. My first show in New York, I covered three guys in ‘Jersey Boys.’ I think it was always something that was helpful for keeping my head on straight.
20. I’m a huge food addict.
