Last month Clybourne Park star Jeremy Shamos nabbed himself a well-deserved Tony Nomination for Best Featured Actor in a Play for his no-holds-barred performance as Karl Lindner/Steve. Between playing two characters every night and attending a gazillion awards ceremonies, Shamos took some time out to chat with us. Topics covered include: explaining acting to his children, growing up in Denver and attempting to tweet at The Fonz.
In a season of strong plays and strong performances in plays, you stood out and proved what we all already knew: you’ve got ridonkulous amounts of talent.

dapperdarrencriss asked: Are you going to give us your official Tony predictions before the big night??:)
Possibly! We honestly don’t love predictions posts, so we’ll probably avoid it. But we’ll speak truthfully if asked about specific awards and such. :) -L
