Theatre Training at BU Taught Alum How to Approach Characters

February 21, 2020

Boston University College of Fine Arts School of Theatre alum Dave Shalansky (CFA’96) credits much of his success as a character actor to the training he received as a theatre arts student at BU School of Theatre. Now based in New York, Shalansky has enjoyed roles in various projects, including Gilmore Girls, Grey’s Anatomy, and Six Feet Under.


This program allowed me to enter into the professional world seamlessly… I think that speaks volumes in anything you do.

Dave Shalansky
