Devin McDuffee
I am a New York based actor who specializes in ensemble based work. My acting career began with a strong musical theater base but included traditional drama as well. In recent years I have started exploring shows and roles that require heightened physical work allowing me to marry the often over the top musical theater acting with straight drama. I now works in a similar style to actors like Andy Serkis (Golem) or Terry Notary (Planet of the Apes), finding innovative ways to use the body to recreate animals or other non-human creatures. Devin graduated from Vassar College with honors and a BA in drama. He works as a Personal Trainer at Equinox Flatiron, and specializes in body weight movement and conditioning.
