DAVE DROXLER
Dave Droxler is a New York based actor, clown, filmmaker, and screenwriter/playwright. Having graduated with a BFA in Acting at Point Park University in Pittsburgh, he has worked in New York and around the country in film, regional theater, national tours, and clown shows. Inspiration for Droxler's work ranges from the theater (with Bill Irwin's physicality and Mark Rylance's versatility) to the cinema (with Paul Rudd's demeanor and Ryan Gosling's subtlety). As a physical comedian, Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin have played a vital role for him and have been the base for much of his work, not only as an actor but also as a playwright. Droxlers goal as an artist has been to embrace the range in character types he portrays on both the stage and screen.
