So excited to share my new headshots! Worked with with headshot extraordinaire Douglas Gorenstein on a few different looks here and I can’t wait to start using these as the industry begins to come back.
Doug was absolutely fantastic to work with and I would highly recommend Douglas Gorenstein Photography to anyone looking for an update. You definitely won’t regret it.
Had a chance to revisit Ken Urban’s THE AWAKE with original cast members Maulik Pancholy and Lori Prince for Dramatists Play Service’s DPS On-Air series. And the video has some awesome pics from the original production at the end. Loved working on this play again... even from home.
The original production ran at 59E59 Theatre in 2013, directed by Adam Fitzgerald.
"Andy Phelan's Malcolm is one of the most striking performances I've seen this year; the tiniest shift in emotion registers on his face in seismic fashion, revealing sorrows that he can barely name" -David Barbour, Light & Sound America
Some home entertainment for quarantine days. Friend and playwright David Lee White has released a lovely audio recording of his one-act play DREAM TIM featuring myself, Ian August and Kate Benincasa, directed by Adam Immerwahr. Its a funny and touching piece about learning to communicate with a toxic ex in a (maybe?) collegiate setting. Have a listen!

Thrilled to play Adam in a sold out benefit staged reading of Geoffrey Nauffts’s wonderful play NEXT FALL to celebrate World Pride Day. Directed by Sarah Spring, this play was the perfect way to celebrate all the progress made in the almost 10 years since its Broadway debut. And gosh I really loved playing this character. Thanks to The Drama Club NYC for assembling this creative team and producing this event.

Big thanks to The Headshot Truck for a great shoot and my new pic! Had this beard for a while now and thought I could use a new shot to show it off. And also a nerdy one with glasses! Love the background colors they use on the truck. They were great for a comfortable and easy shoot.

Just wrapped up a fantastic run of Ian August’s “absolutely hysterical and outrageously unique new comedy” ‘SUBMITTED BY C. RANDALL MCCLOSKEY’. The show starred Brian O’Halloran (of CLERKS fame) as well as Carol Todd, Rebecca Harris Flynn, Bob Senkewicz, Steven Mark, and myself. Directed by Paul Whelihan, this “highly entertaining and very funny show” was a Fringe Festival hit and a complete blast to be a part of. Thanks to Ian August and everyone involved!
