I can whistle.


I have some weird special skills like being able to lick my elbow or bend my legs and arms in ways that freak people out (I love their reactions!). I'm also a tough competitor when it comes to staring contests, and I'm skilled at remembering the unique handshakes that I have made up with the cast, crew and friends! With my cast, I'm also working on pick-pocketing and put-pocketing (and getting pretty good at it). But don't worry, I always give myself up; it's all for the laugh and, besides, I'm so honest that I wouldn't be able to sleep at night if I caused someone harm.


Springy body, rubber face.


I can cook!


Ear-snapping, a skill I picked up from my friend .

I can freestyle rap. I am a member of the freestyle hip hop improv group Freestyle Love Supreme!

Annoying Actor Friend
Passive aggressive bragging, screlting, favoriting but not retweeting, asking unemployed friends what they are working on, being physically fit at all times 鈥� even during the holidays, and juggling. 


None.


I have a powerful spidey-sense for when tourists are about to fall on the subway.


I鈥檓 pretty good at "name that tune."

I can move my eyebrows independently, on cue.


Grilled cheese.


Tongue pops. Crocheter of Puss Hats. Decent extension (mostly on the left leg).


I play harmonica, guitar, love to draw and paint when I can.


I speak Cantonese and I play the piano.

Jason Danieley


I'm the best actor-slash-rapper (not the other way around) in America.


I can throw down mean versions of "Ice, Ice Baby" and "The Humpty Dance."


I can tell a good dirty joke and an even better tasteless dirty joke. I'm a long-distance runner, which isn't very helpful on stage.


Unlike my character in , I'm an excellent cook (and always give my kids homemade hot chocolate. NEVER macaroni and cheese from a box.)


Velociraptor impersonation.

I can recite over a hundred digits of pi (3.1415926...). I memorized them for a high school-wide competition because the prize was a free pizza. I think I came in second place. But I still won that pizza. So that was a pretty awesome day. Moral of story: I'll do anything for pizza. And I may be a huge nerd.


Guitar, Bass, Basic Audio Recording, Photography鈥� I also recently learned how to make soy candles if that counts!


I can burp really loud?


Smelling good.


Can sing like and Aaron Neville. Can mimic the voice of Martin Luther King.

I have a great sense of direction. I've saved myself and others from being lost in the wilderness.

Dan DeLuca
Impressions, Puppetry, Sketching, Digital Editing (movies, pictures)


Talking too much in an audition room.


I鈥檝e still got a few moves from my days as a gymnast.


My favorite special skill on my resume is "excellent monkey noises." I'm thinking of adding some impressions I've been working on soon!

John R. Waters
I can speak French and play soccer at international level. Ok. I made up the bit about the soccer.


I play the saw. I'm a rock climber. I'm really good at cooking bacon.


I can make a funny Cloverleaf shape with my tongue, I can read children's minds, and I can do the iron cross on a set of gymnastic rings. And I can name every African country with its capital and draw them on a map from scratch.


Britney Spears impression.


Hula-hooping!!! I almost hula-hooped for 45 minutes straight about a month ago, but I got hungry and decided to stop and eat. Also, I can do some crazy tongue tricks鈥� (Touch my tongue to my nose, and make a four leaf clover with it.) I know. Super weird, right?!

Dry wit; sarcasm; awkward jokes that tank.


I play a bunch of instruments.


Zombie and Chewbacca impressions. I'm also really good at "Rock Band." I always play on Expert. Always.


I speak French fluently.

Jon Jon Briones
I whistle really well.

Frankie J. Grande


Impersonations, gymnastics, French, accents.


Skiing, swimming, I learned aerial flying doing American Idiot, moon walking, karate.


I can beatbox, surprisingly!

Scott Shepherd
Slouching, avoiding intimacy, computer programming, foreign languages. And there's a hat-flipping trick I can do where it goes over the wrist in a surprising way and then presto! it's back in the hand again. I learned it with a frisbee. Mostly I do it with frisbees.


Guitar and sign language (not at the same time... that鈥檚 impossible).

I can sing and play the guitar, and I'm a really good listener.


Pogo. Ice-skating. Cooking from whatever is in your refrigerator.


Eh, I sort of snowboard, I bake, and I can freestyle rap battle.

Amber Petty
I can twirl a baton, am a dialect coach and I fall down really well. Seriously. I have a true gift for falling to the ground.


I can stick my tongue in my nose.


Well鈥� the accordion, now.
