vivid imagination and personal experience to shape complex, interesting
characters that he experienced immediate success and has been in more
than 140 projects: film, television, theatre, commercials,
infomercials, industrials, and webisodes. Acting was an obvious choice
for the introspective, extroverted Milne, who began his acting career

the role of Kemeo, a twisted, edgy main-player. Last fall he played
