Tropes related to his work:
- Dawson Casting: He often ends up playing teenage characters in theatrical productions. He wanted to move past this after Be More Chill and play more adult characters, which is partly why he started growing a mustache.
- Discredited Meme: As revealed in this Twitch stream
, he's sick of the meme that his character Jared in Dear Evan Hansen eats bath bombs. - Typecasting: Most of his characters are very nerdy and/or geeky, and usually have No Social Skills.
