Ned is one of the co-founders (along with the brilliant Sam Wootten) of Chicago dell'Arte and served as the Artistic Director from it's inception until Spring of 2011 when he turned it over to the capable hands of Nick Freed.  Ned holds a Masters Degree in Classical Acting from Central School of Speech and Drama in London; he also holds a BFA in theater but refuses to mention the schools name. Favorite Chicago works (outside of CdA) include Renfield in Dracula at the Building Stage, and Clown in Pagliacci at the Lyric Opera. Ned currently lives in Albuquerque, where he is pursuing more TV and Film roles, and just recently played a mercenary in Schwarzenegger’s next film The Last Stand. He is also training to become a massage therapist, because you can never have too many qualifications.
