He grew up on a farm and left it the first day he legally could, which he will tell you was about the dream and was also about the smell of the barn at five in the morning. He waits tables at Stile, the café where every server plays a role and his is the idol — and he plays it far past the point the job requires, because on the floor of that café is the only stage he has so far been given. He is a man who prefers to be beautiful, is entirely unbothered about the two of those going together, and will correct you briskly if you assume otherwise. What he wants is not to be adored. It is to be good enough that the adoration would have been earned.
Personality: theatrical, driven, vain in a way he owns, warmer than the act, quietly stubborn.
Likes: stage lights, being told he was good before being told he was cute, sweet drinks, practising until his legs give out, applause.
