In this mostly gender-switched production, I was fortunate enough to play both Miranda - a young woman raised in isolation, now discovering the wider world; and Trinculo - a fool in every sense of the word.

As you may or may not know, I’m a classically trained theatrical actor, so Shakespeare is my happy place.

Here I am in The Tempest; Shakespeare’s last play with themes of colonialism, redemption, and legacy

Dirk later adapted all 5 books into a live show (WITH A BAND!!!) and in 2012 & 2013 we toured it in England, Scotland and Wales with original cast members; I reprised Random. Here are some pics of this major highlight of my career.
Huge thanks to Ken Humphrey for the photos 🪐(and for all the fish) 🐬

You probably didn’t know this, but back in 2005 I played Random Dent in the adaptation of Douglas Adams’ “Mostly Harmless”. Directed by @dirk_maggs for BBC Radio 4 and entitled “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy: Hexagonal Phase”, it was the final part of Douglas’ seminal work.

After spotting the book at SDCC (Apparently, that's not Gale on the cover!?), I had the pleasure of meeting Lenora Woods at @fanexpoboston.bsky.social !
She treated me to a lovely signed copy, and I got to share some of Karlach's book related lines as well 😂

What do you think, should I read it? 😉

"[It's a] testament to Sarah Baylus, who's the dialogue writer for Karlach — absolutely nailed it. The diverse groups of people who find comfort in that character — I've never seen that in anything I played."
Such a pleasure chatting with @amychenofficial.bsky.social at Esports about Karlach & more!
