Hi, I’m a young actor (trying to get into college) and I always enjoy when this question comes up in acting classes.... Why do you act or what is the most fulfilling part about being an actor for you? How did you get your start?

3. Many fans asked: do you like acting on stage or on television better? Which character is harder to play, Craig from Degrassi or Melchior from Spring Awakening ?

You are amazing!!! Just a quick question, we all know you write your own songs... (The Way You Shine and My Window are my faves!!) Are you planning on releasing an album anytime soon? Please say yes!! :)

6. Anonymous asked:

What do you know about Melchior that we wouldn’t as an audience? For example, do you have any additional backstory that you keep in mind while portraying Melchoir? Jessica and Rachelle add: what do YOU think happens to Melchoir after the show ends? Love you!!!


7. Laura wrote:

Jake, I've read that your grandparents are Holocaust survivors and your mom wrote the book, "The Secret of Gabi's Dresser." Has this affected how you feel about playing such a radical character from pre-war Germany?

8. There seems to be someone on Twitter with a fake Jake Epstein account. Just to set the record straight, “Do you have a Twitter Profile? Myspace? Facebook? How can fans stay in touch with you?”

9. From Anne Claire:

If you could describe each of the Spring Awakening cast members (including yourself) in only one word starting with the first letter in their name, what would you say?
