Evan Bass, born in Boston, Massachusetts, and raised in the Boston area, attended Columbia University and graduated with a degree in Psychology and Political Science before he fell off the real world train and into a life of crime. And by a life of crime I mean he started studying acting seriously. He is a graduate of the WARD Studio, yeah, from the Ward. Okay, so the studio name is Ward and does not technically have any penitentiary standings, but bear with me.
He acts in plays. Shows and characters performed through the WARD Studio include Gus in Pinter's The Dumb Waiter and Frankie in Shepard's Lie of the Mind. He's performed at Theater for the New City, which is in New York City which is actually not very new. Such parts in shows include Pierre in Long Time Passing and Raphael Felix in Ballad of Baxter Street. He likes plays, they are fun. You should like plays. You should like him in plays. A combination made in...I guess I could put "Heaven," but doesn't that seem a bit pretentious? I think so. It's a good combination though. Trust me. I am not biased what so ever. Wink wink, nudge nudge, say no more, say no more. Now we are going to go into something else. Play some music here as a transition if you like. A new paragraph is coming up...
Here we are, in a new paragraph! Evan is also a film and web/tv actor ("actor" pronounced with an elongate "oooorrrrrr," it makes it sound more impressive). You may know Evan for his role of Rod in the awesome Web series We Need Girlfriends. This Web series, you should check it out, again no bias here whatsoever, was picked up by CBS and is in the process of being turned into a half-hour television series, produced by Ragtag Productions (Angel Acevedo, Brian Amyot, and Steven Tsapelas) and executive produced by Darren Starr, Dennis Erdman, and Clark Peterson. You might have also seen him in the short or independent features: Cubed, from Working Dog Productions; Black Mary, from Roman Moher Productions; and Da Void, from Darkseed Entertainment.
Evan is awesome. He does improv. I mean, that is pretty awesome (again, no bias here, seriously). He mainly performs with his New York-based team Ghost Fight, and can also be seen occassionally with NYC-based Prozac Morris. His awesomeness (in the improv realm) comes out of the highly esteemed Upright Citizens Brigade and Magnet Theater. Is that it?
No, there is more! (I mean, if you cheated and looked and saw there was another paragraph, well, then it is a moot point, you ever feel like I just go off on random tangents?) Evan is a skilled fencer, well versed in all weapons, including multi-weapon MSR combat, but specializing in the Saber. There is more. He rides. Horses. English and Western. Yup, he can post. If that means nothing to you, you should be impressed. He had to take lessons when he was younger because, well, let's just say not all people (who ride horses in front of him) know how to handle their horses, and then they get Evan in trouble. Again, a tangent, no traumatization (or dramatization) here. Nope. Keep a moving. He fences! He rides! And what?! He runs too?!! Yes, ladies and gentlemen, it is true. A former NCAA Division I track competitor, and former sponsored post-collegiate athlete, Evan is a one-time (and never again) NYC marathon runner, and runs pretty much daily. Name a sport, he pretty much knows how to do it, and he even knows how to play Go. He is currently very much into Rock Climbing.
Wow. I am tired. Did I mention he can even teach Calculus? Enough! Go watch some of his videos or read his blog. Wow. He is pretty cool though. I like him. Again, no bias whatsoever from me. Nope. None. Nada. Nil. Zilch. Zero. Zip.
Sincerely,
Evan Bass |
