Submitted: March 24, 2011     Name:Jaryl DraperHometown: Department: Theatre Arts
News:Draper played Uncle Buck in "How I Learned To Drive" February 4th - February 27th, 2011 at Stone Soup Theatre, Seattle, directed by John Vreeke. In a recent review posted by Michael Strangeways at http://johnvreeke.com/howilearnedtodrive/ cites Draper as "one to watch." "...with the “where did this actor come from?” work from Jaryl Draper as Uncle Peck. I have not encountered this actor’s work before but he’s now moved to my “Ones to Watch For” list. Mr Draper gives an astounding performance as a man you ought to hate, but instead, end up pitying. Uncle Peck is a charming but wounded man, hounded by his own various demons, and a serial pedophile but Ms Vogel’s strong writing and Mr Draper’s equally strong acting, make the character real and complicated and touching and terrifying in equal measure. The fact that Uncle Peck is, on the surface, a “nice” guy; considerate, courteous and intelligent instead of the usual pedophile stereotype of a leering, ignorant, and obviously perverted monster, only makes the character more believable and all the more chilling. Mr Draper’s subtle performance never goes off the rails; it’s nuanced, natural but very precise. His most searing moment is a monologue in the middle of the play, where Uncle Peck recounts another moment when he seduced a young boy while on a fishing trip. The actions of the character are horrific, and Uncle Peck knows it, and Mr Draper manages to play both that realization and the joy of the seduction, carefully layering and mixing those mixed emotions in a haunting and complex performance. It’s superb acting from a gifted actor and Mr Draper’s performance alone, is worth the price of admission."
