'My style has been loved by some, and criticized heavily by others. While my family has been some of my biggest critics, they (try to) allow me to express myself in a way that I find fit. I have a sort of....raggemuffin, thrown together style, comprised of a lot of pieces that I find on the sale rack, thrift store, or my fathers bins in the basement.

I really am attracted to loud, patterned prints and textiles, and really I don't go a day without a form of boot on my feet. Be it Chelsea, combat, or something more subtle, usually combat. The picture is a Polaroid my friend took of me as I modeled for her photography portfolio. I actually have on a flannel with only the top button fastened, and that's a kind of quirk of mine, fastening the top button only. And it's another thing that's been heavily criticized.'

'As an actor based in NY, I often feel I have to don a more "basic" or "muted" look, a la jeans and tee shirt, for auditions and rehearsals in order to allow the powers-that-be to really "see" me and my work without distraction. But being a creative person, I've always loved expressing myself through personal style. Consequently, I relish the opportunities to dress up and out whenever I can. Opening Night. A friend's wedding. Birthday dinner party. The bow tie and Italian leather Oxfords come out!'

Style Is Purchased With Your Passion, Eloquence And Ability To Take Risks

'My style, as I'm still discovering it and it is still evolving, is nothing less than a reflection and expression of the phase in my life that I am in. In 25 years I have lived in Washington, California, Louisiana, Texas, Michigan, and now Illinois. I have come across many people, many styles, and with the addition to my artistic upbringings, I have begun to fine tune my style.

Coming up wearing long-tall white tees, Girbaud jeans, Dickies trousers, and Nike sneakers, I use my style to celebrate progress, intelligence, wisdom, refinement, and the notion that we are always learning. You cannot buy style; the threads to display your style are purchased with your passion, eloquence, and ability to take risks.'
