He also has a day job to pay for all of this. "Much love and thanks to this amazing cast and everyone at TST for their hard work and putting up with me. Thank you to my Red O family for your support and ridicule. All my love to my parents, Pat & J.R., who have always been there for this weird kid. This show is dedicated to every director that cast me, taught me and believed in me around this town. Baskin, I hope you're haunting this show."
