"Receiving the Legacy Robe is such a statement of value. There have been times as an actor I’ve felt expendable, but having this moment of recognition for how hard it is to be part of the backbone of this industry has given me such a sense of accomplishment and camaraderie with all my fellow 'backbones' of Broadway."
