The actor, who landed the part of Daniel in the revival production just a few months after graduating from college, said he was awe-struck when he realized he would be performing on Broadway.

“I just couldn’t believe it,” he said. “My whole body went hot and numb. I walked around like a zombie for like three days, just thinking ‘what is the next year of my life going to look like?'”

He said the experience so far has surpassed his expectations and continues to be “surreal.”
