SIDEWALKS host Lori Rosales talks to the actor about his stage work and starring as “Big Foster” Farrell VI in WGN America’s “Outsiders.”

Editor’s Note:  Around two weeks after this interview was conducted, WGN America, surprisingly, cancelled the “Outsiders.” The producers of the program, Sony Pictures Television, has been looking for a new home for the series. On May 2, 2017, executive producer Peter Tolan made the announcement that the program is officially cancelled, as the actors’ contracts have expired and no new home was found.
