Grow as a performer and a person.
Hello, my name is Philip Jones and I am an actor based in New York. I have always loved performing, it gives me such joy to elicit a genuine reaction from people in the audience because of what I do. Whether I am making the audience laugh, gasp, or cry it gives me an adrenaline rush when I am on stage. That rush has been growing ever since I started with my first play in 5th grade and keep doing plays throughout high school and now starting in college
I grew up in the small college town of New Paltz, New York, and stayed there for the first 18 years of my life. New Paltz is about 90 miles away from New York City and most of my family lived there at some point in their lives. So it was an often adventure to drive down to The City to go to a new museum, restaurant, or, of course, see a Broadway show. I loved the city then and still do one day I will make my dream come true of living in New York City as a full-time actor.
My goal as an actor is to make art that shows the world how complex and truly rich the world can be. I know now that in order to know me as a person fully you have to see me on stage. There are no words or pictures that can emote those feelings. However, being loud and making weird faces is a pretty good bonus though.
