While not on stage, Meyer enjoys Will & Grace, Will Smith, and Lady Gaga. You can catch him performing with Asterik in their winter show, Inglourious Basteriks. more

The Tenafly, New Jersey native took a break from Hell Week to talk to NU Intel about the show, the swine, and stalking Sutton Foster. more
