| Bio: |   I grew up just outside of Atlanta, in Decatur, Georgia. I didn’t grow up dreaming of being on stage in front of an audience. I played soccer, tinkered with motorcycles, and made music on my guitar. I attended Southwest Dekalb High School and eventually won a soccer scholarship to attend the American University in Washington, DC. Once there, I studied a Liberal Arts degree in romance literature, however differences with my coach resulted in my departure after just a year and a half. I then left Washington DC for the San Francisco Art Institute to study fine arts. I dabbled solely in visual arts then. However, I squandered my academic scholarship and was eventually forced to make other plans.  In 1997 I was urged by my compatriot Suzy Landau (producer for Francis Ford Coppola) to take my act to the stage. I made the leap to the stage for the first time in Me and My Friend at the Los Angeles Theatre Center, and began to seriously study the craft. That world for me soon included performances in Cymbeline and The Misanthrope while I completed the Actor's Conservatory Program at A Noise Within theater company in Los Angeles. My other theater credits from that period include Miss Julie, Sweet Bird of Youth, Long Day's Journey Into Night, and The Importance of Being Ernest.  In 1997, I trained with Joan Scheckel, who started her public life as an actor and performer in New York’s avant-garde scene. In the mid-nineties she started running workshops for actors and directors and found herself much in demand in Hollywood and Los Angeles. The workshops in which I participated are quite intense, and stir up a lot of real emotion for everyone involved.  Long before I joined the cast of Queer As Folk and embraced Showtime's "No Limits" philosophy, I was pushing the boundaries with projects to which I attached myself. In 1998, I performed as La Turista (the tourist) in "La (The) Indian Queen", a 17th century British baroque opera. The text was filled with outrageous racist stereotypes and Eurocentric constructions of otherness.  I made my feature film debut as the nerdy but endearing "Booker" in Paul Scheuring's 36K, and appeared briefly in Lori Silverbush’s Mental Hygiene. In 2001, I filmed Wake, directed by Roy Finch. In 2002, I worked on an independent film titled "Rhinoceros Eyes" directed by newcomer Aaron Woodley, in which I played a detective. I also starred in another indie film called "Particles of Truth" with Jennifer Elster. In the Spring of 2004 I worked with Ms. Elster and her husband, Lewis Helfer, on another film called "Life on the Ledge," a dark comedy filmed in NYC, in which I play a gangster. This past year, I also acted in a three-part movie for Showtime called "Fathers and Sons" which has yet to be released, and I'm in the movie "The Unseen," filmed just outside of Atlanta, Georgia. It is expected to be released next year (2005). I also star in a film called "Social Grace," directed by B.D. Wong, filmed in NYC this past Summer. The story is about an Asian-American woman, love-struck by one of New York City's most eligible bachelors, bravely facing the complications and challenges of their high-profile interracial relationship. Also, I'm about to begin work on a new film. It's a Canada/U.S. co-production, scheduled for release in 2006. During my hiatus from Queer As Folk in 2001, I played Josh in the off-Broadway play Uncle Bob, opposite George Morfogen. I enjoyed the role because the character of Josh was very different from the character of Brian Kinney.  Like my alter-ego Brian, I like to think I have a great sense of style. One of my favorite designers is Patrick Antosh, the costume designer for QAF. I like to shop with the wardrobe designer for the QAF because he knows all the right spots. It's fun to kill a few hours going through piles of arcane stuff that fires me up but that I would probably never wear. I have some strong feelings about my role on Queer As Folk. My point of view on taking this job is that I'm interested in real work... and it's just something that happens. It's not like we're making it up or doing it to try and say, 'Look at this! Freak out! Feel uncomfortable!' It's a real experience, it's something that goes on. And if people are not aware of it, then it's for a variety of reasons that I can't really be worried about.[Source: QAF Addiction] Filmography: 1. Social Grace (2005) (post-production) .... Andrew 2.
