Welcome to Conversations from Here with me, Dana Ziegler! Today I speak with stellar actor and inspired educator Bernard Addison! We discuss his upbringing in Columbia, SC, discovering acting in middle-school, honing his craft at university, living as a young working actor in regional theatre while living in New York, performing Shakespeare at Ashland, making the move to Los Angeles and finding a thriving theatre community, an epic tale involving a complication between the stage and a stint on "Frasier" and the vital role the arts play in education and for humanity as a whole. Great talk-- and moving, too. Enjoy!
