Bio Ken is enraptured to be a member of Circle X Theatre Company. He began acting at the age of seven when he helped the Sheriff apprehend the nefarious train robbers at Knott's Berry Farm. Following an involuntary transplant to Evanston Illinois by his parental unit’s he grew up and realized his lifelong ambition. Ending his lengthy hiatus from acting, Ken studied in Chicago with Steven Ivcich, Rachael Patterson, The Players Workshop and The Second City. After receiving his $1,050 T-shirt from Second City, Ken performed throughout Chicago as an ensemble member of Playback Theatre Midwest as well as several other theatre companies. Earning his SAG card caused Ken to realize that Chicago wasn’t the place for a career in film and TV, so he loaded up the truck and moved to Beverly. He's extremely fortunate to have found such a remarkable home with Circle X and now serves as the company’s “Go-To” Guy. In his spare time he collects mid-century antiques spending the remaining time dusting the collection. He would like to thank his friends, family, and most of all, his fellow Circle X’ers, for continuing to put up with him!
