Alumni Speak Out About the Rutgers B.F.A. Acting Program

Leila Kenzle: "My experiences at Mason Gross were challenging and exhilarating. I matured both as an actress and as a person." (costar of network hit series Mad About You.)

Kevin Chamberlain: "Mason Gross School of the Arts was instrumental in preparing me for the cutthroat world of show business. The single, most important reason that I chose to get my B.F.A. from Mason Gross was that the entire faculty were working professionals in the business. There was never the feeling of 'those who can...do, those who can't. . . teach.' In fact, one of my professors cast me in my first professional job. The program is staggeringly thorough with emphasis on encouraging the artist's imagination, yet never sugarcoating the harsh realities of making a living as an artist. I graduated from Rutgers with a stronger sense of who I am as an artist, a commodity, and a man." (Broadway star and Tony Nominee Seussical the Musical, and films Dirty Blonde, Road to Perdition and Die Hard With a Vengeance.)

Molly Price: "A degree from Mason Gross is a platinum card into the industry." (costar of network hit series Third Watch)

Aaron Stanford: "A high percentage of luck is being prepared for opportunities when they arise." (Film credits include 25th Hour, Tadpole, X-Men II, and Hollywood Ending.)
