shane...dallas...and beyond

i’m a little late writing about my time in dallas and working on shane, but it was an amazing time. i can still recall my wife asking me how the audition and callback went to which i said something like, “eh, it was fine. i don’t think i booked it though.” …and then i booked it. and a few short weeks later i’d find myself in cowboy country playing one of the most iconic, fictional cowboys in the world of novels and film, shane. the dallas theater center family welcomed me with open arms and it was a wild and exhilarating ride. my family got to see me play a cowboy in dallas, i had more barbeque that i’d care to admit, and my wife spent the last week with me before we flew back home together. when i finished in dallas i didn’t know what was coming next, but boy was i in for a surprise…
