VT: At our shoot, you mentioned to us that you are very involved in music, should we expect to hear some new music from you soon? 
GC: You would only hear new music from me if you knew which open window in midtown to stand under every night after the show. Music is a huge passion of mine and a sanctuary I consider myself to still be on the outside of looking in. That being said, several things are in the works, and to whoever's reading this, you’ll be the first to hear about it. 

VT: We often take it for granted, what does living in New York and being a working actor mean to you? 
GC: I had a teacher who used to say that dreaming to be a working actor was like dreaming to play for the Boston Red Sox. I think he said this in some way to encourage us to follow our ambition but also to enforce a healthy dose of reality; that chances are slim. But just like any kid who spent his afternoons batting in the backyard, or missing out on parties to give it all in an away game, the ambition hasn’t let me go. To be able to say at twenty-two that I’m living in New York City, supporting myself by doing a play that's not only commercially successful but also deeply fulfilling, is something I’ll be forever grateful for. 

VT: What is a typical off-day like for you? 
GC: Laundry. Vacuuming. I like to take all the things you're supposed to do throughout the week and put them off until the very last minute so I can be absolutely miserable on my day off. Then I like to get drinks with my friends.

VT: After Appropriate wraps (Extended final performance June 30), what type of creative projects are you interested in looking into? 
GC: My hope is that my journey as an actor and a human being will bring me to the right project that I know nothing about. I’m all about stories that help push the needle forward in terms of social dialogue and greater significance. I’d feel lucky to be a part of a story like that regardless of what medium it’s manifested.

VT: If you can give advice to any aspiring young actors who are striving to make it. What would you tell them?
GC: My biggest advice would be to take everything you’re offered with a grain of salt. I find what’s missing in most acting training is the reminder to remain relentlessly committed to uncovering who you are amidst garnering technique. A technical body, breath, voice, and control of your instrument, it’s essential to the work of an actor. But the thing they don’t teach, the thing that will carry you to the finish, is knowing what you have to say once you get a hold of those things. That’s a long-winded way of reminding you to be yourself. 

VT: You recently adopted a new pet, share with us some details about the addition to your life. How are things going?
GC: Tango, much like myself, was in search of somewhere to belong. He came from cruelty, in search of love, and I think he and I have been able to provide that for each other. He’s a good guy. The day I got him, someone on the street said “They raise you.” in regards to a dog’s relationship to its owner. In my experience so far, that couldn’t be more true. 

VT: Your motto in life is…
GC: “One who knows, does not speak. One who speaks does not know.”
