My new man crush, actor @rayabruzzo Ray Abruzzo, has a career that spans many decades, beginning with theater as a young man in high school in New York City.
He fearlessly opened the first scene in his first play in school , and it felt right to him, something clicked.
Filled with inspiration, he and his friends created theater collectives and produced plays in and out of school.
He worked a full-time job to support his theater habit, but when he was presented with a major health scare, Ray felt the need to make a significant change - that change led him to television shows like: Dynasty, Night Court, LA Law, The Sopranos, and Transparent, and much more.
I love Ray’s story and his love of acting. He’s a wise soul with some great advice, and his ideas about getting or not getting roles is funny and refreshing.
Hope you enjoy my conversation with good human, Ray Abruzzo.
