Thank you for considering working with me! I completed my education at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, specializing in Meisner and Classical Studios and the Experimental Theater Wing. Upon graduating, I spent ten years teaching and directing curricular productions at the Meisner Studio and, for seven semesters, taught a program focused on Shakespeare and contemporary scene study for Open Arts at Tisch. Recently relocated to Los Angeles, I have experience working in film, TV, and theater, having spent some time living in London. Notably, I have appeared in San Junipero (the Emmy award-winning episode of Black Mirror on Netflix) and Starz's Outlander. I am particularly enthusiastic about classical material but also enjoy working with contemporary pieces.
My approach is a combination of various methodologies, and I strongly believe our collaboration must be built on mutual respect. Rather than imposing my own dogma, I aim to help you develop your unique approach to the material. My coaching sessions usually take place in my Studio City location, but I am willing to travel to you or work remotely via Zoom. I am eager to work with you!

Billy is an amazing person to work with. Aside from being highly knowledgeable about Shakespeare, he also possesses excellent skills in handling Film and TV scenes. With extensive experiences in these disciplines from New York City, London, and Los Angeles, Billy is undoubtedly a valuable asset in determining how to accomplish the task at hand. I'm based in London and frequently schedule online sessions with him to assist me in my projects and auditions. Billy is my trusted coach.

Billy Griffin Jr. was very forthcoming about his life as an actor during our class. He consistently provided detailed feedback and exuded a positive energy. He was enjoyable to work with, but also remained focused. I strongly endorse collaborating with him.
