The Backstage 30

18. Aaron Costa Ganis

Hometown: Milford, N.H.
Representation: Innovative Artists; Station 3
Credits: “Whaddabloodclot!!!” (stage); “A New York Love Story” (stage)
Audition horror story: I did my final callback at NYU after severely tearing my meniscus at the final callbacks for Juilliard the day before. My knee sounded like a cat playing with bubble wrap.
Training: I trained at NYU’s Graduate Acting Program, and the most important lesson I learned there was AYB: assume your brilliance.
