SIX QUESTIONS for Gavin Starr Kendall

HOMETOWN: Overton, TX; population 2,350

FAVORITE ICE CREAM FLAVOR: Ben & Jerry's Coffee Heath Bar Crunch.

IF I WERE A SEA CREATURE I WOULD BE: Godzilla.
Because history shows again and again how nature points out the folly of man.

FIRST ACTING GIG:  First paying gig was TEXAS! the outdoor musical in Palo Duro Canyon.  I was 21 playing a ranch hand singing and dancing the history of West Texas. It was basically the plot of Oklahoma. One night I fell off my horse into the brush, banged myself up pretty good but finished the show.

MOST EMBARRASSING ONSTAGE MOMENT: I was doing a show with Manhattan Children's Theater and during a blackout scene change I knocked heads with one of the women in the cast and actually saw stars.  Like in cartoons.

FAVORITE NYC SUMMER ACTIVITY (BESIDES FRINGENYC): Riding the Coney Island Cyclone.
