Tyler Evans- (Claude Thornbush, Producer)
 Ever since his return to New York
to continue work on Hedge Fund,
Tyler, having experimented with it
a little in college, is seriously considering
living a bi-coastal lifestyle. Over the
course of our skype interviews, we learned
his journey began in the “hallowed halls”
of The College of William and Mary’s
Theater Program, “got his chops”
at both The Stella Adler and Eric
Morris Studio,”spread his wings” at
The Peoples Improv Theater
and Groundlings, and “broke the sound barrier”in Off-Broadway’s Rock Show. All of which contributed
to his “massive body of work” in commercials, soaps,film, and, of course, his “tour de force” as
“our national treasure”, Claude Thornbush. In high school he was voted “most likey to co-produce
a web series about high-risk, inter-global hedge funds”. Junior year he batted .469 with 3 HRs, and
16 RBIs.
