Drew Carr, now a New York City based actor, has not always known stability in his location. He has lived many places, learned many things, and met many people. This is his story.
Drew was born in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, then quickly moved to Lafayette, Louisiana, moved back to Arkansas (for reasons he is still unaware) moved to Los Angeles, then moved to Houston and then, finally to New York City.
Drew's journey as a performer began in Arkansas while in the Children's Chorus of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat. A few short years later he made his Feature Film debut in the Joey Lauren Adam's directed film "Come Early Morning," staring Ashley Judd. His parents took this as a sign of greater things to come, picked up Drew and his two siblings and moved across the country to Los Angeles to see what might happen.
Drew hit the ground running with a Guest Star role on the CBS television series "Criminal Minds" just two months after the big move. From there, he went on to play Dill in a downtown production of To Kill A Mockingbird, Malcolm in the Pasadena Playhouse premiere of Carol Burnett's autobiographical play Hollywood Arms, directed by Linda Lavin, and, a personal favorite, the only cast member under thirty in Neil Patrick Harris' directorial debut of a new comedy titled I Am Grock, by Amanda Rogers.
Drew worked on many student films and independent film projects as well Joesph...Technicolor Dreamcoat for a second time. He rounded out his time in California with a small featured role in the David Fincher film "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button." Once in Texas, Drew located the Humphrey's School of Musical Theatre where he helped premiere and record the Original Cast Recording of Vote! The Musical by Steven Jamail and Ryann Ferguson.
After Texas came New York. As a student at NYU, he had the gift and pleasure of exploring some of his favorite material, such as Carousel, City of Angels, Man of La Mancha, The Drowsy Chaperone, Hairspray, Catch Me If You Can, and his favorite role to date, Otto Kringelein in Grand Hotel. He was also in the first staged production of Salzman and Cunningham's newest work, The Legend of New York, a musical that showcased all the characters of 1970's Manhattan during the huge blackout of 1977.
Now, a graduate of the NYU Steinhardt Vocal Performance program, where he was blessed with countless opportunities to learn and grow as an artist and as human, he is continuing his way through the world of the arts with a smile, an undying passion, and a decision to live life as silly and as unorthodoxly as possible.
