[edit] Hoax?

I can find no substantiation for the veracity of anything in this article. It was created by an account that only added to this article and repeated information from this article in the Equus article. I removed the inadequate and false "references" (www.abc.com; www.soapnet.com; www.tv.com; www.imdb.com etc.) because the links were not properly formatted and when one went to these sites, there was no actor by this name listed. One site, wwww.tvrage.com, had him listed, but it appears to be a site that is user edited and I could find no verification that this person appeared in any of the television shows claimed in the article. Further, someone 26 years old could not possibly have appeared for a full year on a soap or a tv show with no documentation existing anywhere, have had a charted remake of a song on the Billboard European charts AND graduated college and obtained a PhD while also managing to work in modelling. The site given as a source for modelling is a fansite and gives no particulars. Further, portions of this article appear to be copied and changed very little from that site (or vice versa). I believe this profile is a hoax. The only place the name is mentioned on tv.com is in the forum, where it is essentially mentioning that the Wikipedia article for him again perpetuates a hoax. There is no information to support his nomination for an Obie Award, and it appears that the Lamb's Theatre may not have been open at the time the article suggests this person appeared there.
