Tommy Drake's Interests
General
I just got back into juggling for health and fitness. Hard to practice in a cruise ship cabin, but I am managing to improve, not just the juggling, but the health and fitness as well.
I've become a crazy cat person and am desperately in love with my kitten, Gracie. I've even brought her on the road with me.
I spend quite a bit of down time writing and researching my act.
Music
Rock and Roll. Classic Rock. 60s and 70s
Movies
Young Frankenstein, To Be or Not To Be, The Jerk, Lonely Guy
Television
American Idol. Most of the shows I like are on Fox. The Simpsons, Family Guy, Judge Judy.
I don't get to watch a lot of TV, but when I do I try to catch some boxing or mma.
Books
Isaac Asimov wrote a math book called Asimov on Numbers that every nerd like me should read.
I love John Grisham, Dean Koontz. They never fail to entertain me.
I also periodically re-read the classics. I have read 'On The Road', 'Catcher in the Rye', all of Vonnegut and Hemmingway numerous times over and enjoy them all every time. I have an oddly accurate memory for things that I read and I believe I will have books like Cat's Cradle and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's nest memorized before I die.
Heroes
John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Ehric Weiss, and Sir Lawrence Olivier who once quipped 'an actor should have the mind of a genius, the body of an athelete, the soul of a poet, and the imagination of a child. It doesn't hurt to also have the hair of a Jonas Brother.'
About me: I travel all of the time and try to have at least one performance every night. In a perfect world I would work every night. As it is, I am close. Travelling allows me to read the great and crappy paperback novels that I am addicted to. I basically read and work out like I am in prison while I am on the road.
Who I'd like to meet: I love watching live performers who really get off on performing live. I'm addicted to the stage and if I can't be up there, I love to be in the crowd of an amazing show. I don't need to meet the performer, just watch them live.
I've gotten to meet most of my current stand-up heros.
Why that's a very stylish photo you have there, Mr Quack. You look like a 1930's villain who's just molested a small boy and is consequently very pleased with himself. Is that what you were going for?
