In the year 1990 when I was born, my father had a handlebar mustache and hair down to his waist, and my mother worshipped the moon. In short, my parents were hippies. The worst kind of hippies: the kind that name their kids crazy things like Rain or Moon-unit…or Forrest. Or maybe I am from Greenbow, Alabama and my life is like a box of chocolates (wikipedia Forrest Gump).

What is something that many people do not know about you?

I got nothing. :(

If you were a superhero, what would your superpower be? What would your

superweakness be?

I would be The Voice of the Youth, and I would have no weakness! I would have the power to make that guy that always plays piano in Val learn some new songs.

You are from Pennsylvania. What do you miss most from home?

I miss the slightly milder winter.

What is the best concert you have ever attended?

Van Morrison, Madison Square Garden, Astral Weeks live!

Facebook lists “The Princess Bride” as one of your favorite movies. Which character from “The Princess Bride” are you most like and why?

I would have to say that I am most like Fezzik since my muscles are bulging all of the time, and I often speak in rhyme.

When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?

I always wanted to be a toy designer. I used to construct prototypes out of cardboard and scotch tape. I had the idea for Tickle-Me-Elmo years before Mattel, but it just wasn’t as cuddly when made out of cardboard. Totally missed the boat on that one.

Define the following word: “Badass.”

I think if we break down this word it makes a lot of sense. What is the baddest thing in the world? The letter “s” is. Someone who is badass is as “bad as s.” Plain as day.

Who would play you in a made-for-TV movie about your life?

The only person that could tackle the challenging role of Forrest Hudes would be a mutagenic combination of Will Ferrell, Jack Black, Tracy Morgan, Tina Fey, Alec Baldwin and the rest of the cast of 30 Rock.

You are on the Men’s Ultimate Frisbee team. What is your rank in the Army of Darkness?

I have actually reached a level in the hierarchy of “the army” such that I cannot speak about my position. It is top secret. Basically, it involves me being a franchise player and only showing up to practice once a month and entertaining the team with humorous emails in between.

If you started a band, what kind of music would your band play? What would your band’s name be? What instrument would you play?

If I were to start a band, I would just resurrect The Parliament Funkadelics, but I would add Van Morrison, Billy Joel, Sir Paul McCartney and the living members of the band Queen to create a superband! I would sing lead with George Clinton.

If I were to take a glance at your iPod right now, what would be the song on any of your playlists that would embarrass you the most?

I have a Spongebob Squarepants CD on my iPod. God help me, but I love that boxy invertebrate.

You star in the upcoming Theatre & Dance production “Almost, Maine” by Amherst alum John Cariani. What is the show about?

To distill “Almost, Maine” down to one word: love. “Almost, Maine” is truly love on stage for two hours. It is literal and magical and hilarious. John Cariani is a genius.

What have you most enjoyed about the rehearsal process?

Portraying the most depressing character ever: Jimmy. Come see the show and you will get it.

Why should people come to see “Almost, Maine?”

There is a comma in the title. How often do you see that? Plus, you all know you don’t have anything better to do. If you are even reading this it means you are alone at a table in Val reading the paper to try to look less sad. Instead, you could come to “Almost, Maine” and be happy.
