“Playing the role of Young Larry Hall was emotionally exhausting but so rewarding in the growth it provided me professionally. Young Larry was complicated and dark. It’s not often that a young actor, like myself, gets the chance to play a character with such depth and complexity and so outside of their past experience. In doing that, I was able to experience a range of emotions that I had never faced before. It was a powerful experience.” - Cade Tropeano
