It took a while for actor and improvisor Eric Storie and I to sync up our schedules for an interview. I guess being a handsome devil takes up a lot of free time.

But I was finally able to get him to Chop Shop for a conversation about getting into the arts late in life, when to let competition drive you, and why it's totally ok that he is talking about himself.

Eric will be performing Friday, June 16 with The Displacers and Friday, June 23 with Zombie Gourmet. Both shows are at 8:30PM as part of The Trifecta at the Torch Theatre, details at thetorchtheatre.com

You can also catch Eric every Friday at 7:00 PM doing the Skewed News Hour at Second Beat Improv, secondbeatimprov.com

You might also get to see Eric and I working together at The Dinner Detective. Schedule and tickets at thedinnerdetective.com
