I am an Equity actor currently based in the greater Washington D.C./DMV area and originally hail from South Carolina where I received my B.A. in Theatre from the University of South Carolina.
I am interested in telling stories that bring people closer together and in creating characters that are complex and sometimes outlandish. My experience spans across multiple genres from Shakespeare and classical texts to musical and contemporary theatre and I am always looking for the next challenge to explore. I bring a movement-first approach to my work amplifying the discovery of the physical world of my characters alongside text analysis. The combination of this approach as a guiding principle supplies me with the motor to drive through the story as one being. Beyond my work as an actor, my movement skills have been utilized to develop physical language and choreography for several shows, including Timon of Athens and Antony and Cleopatra at the Folger Theatre in Washington D.C.
Aside from acting, I consider myself a film connoisseur and photographer (explore @john.floyd on Instagram for my self-portraits and sittings). I love watching every documentary possible on the British royal family.
