Work with the Deaf Community and American Sign Language

Craig was fortunate to be exposed to American Sign Language (ASL) at a young age.  He grew up with Deaf friends and found his way in the Deaf and signing communities thanks to the nurturing of many incredible Deaf people.  Thanks to these gifts and his native-like fluency Craig has been able to create and star in an ASL/English comedy web series, take the stage at Shakespeare in the Park's Delacorte Theater, tour the country performing, play characters with various levels of signing proficency in award winning films, interpret Broadway shows, and much more!  When he's not working as an actor, Craig has the privilege of working as a nationally certified interpreter with Deaf artists on sets, in rehearsal rooms, production/design meetings, auditions, and beyond.
