It’s clear from Kirk’s body of work that he knows acting. It’s quite another thing to be able to not only educate but also to inspire students to learn the craft. He is patient, understanding, and has a great sense of humor. Kirk suggested I begin taking classes to take my comedy to the next level and also to try my hand at acting. It ended up being one of the best career decisions I’ve made. Inhabiting his techniques has allowed me to express myself more fully – onstage and on-set.
