After graduating from high School he attended Webster Universities Theater program for 2 years before being cut. Dusting himself off he was accepted to the Eugene O'Neill theater program in Waterford Conn. It was there that he met another actor, Jeremy Piven, and was convinced he was going about becoming a professional actor the wrong way. He then moved to Chicago and started studying with both Joyce and Bryn Piven at the legendary Piven Theater workshop. There he met and worked with some of the most passionate actors and artist he has ever met. Chicagoan John Cusack returned to town, from LA, where he had acted in Tim Robbins Actor's Gang production of "After the Dog Wars" and became hooked to "The Style" that is modern day Commadia Del arte. John decided to start his own theater company called "New Crime Production". Greg is a proud founding member of that compan
