All signs point to this being the year for Roger Hendricks Simon, an actor-director-teacher. As the founder of the Simon Studios, he is celebrating his 30th anniversary. As an actor, he has the lead role in the independent film The Sublet, which has received positive notices from Back Stage and Variety, among other places. "Simon creates a wholly sympathetic figure, a man breaking out of his self-imposed exile despite his better judgment," wrote Simi Horwitz in Back Stage. "The unabashed eagerness with which he hovers over drop-in visitors affords some well-timed comedy bits," wrote Variety. Simon sat down with Back Stage recently to reflect on his career, past, present, and future.You have a lot to celebrate this year.It's the 30th anniversary of the Simon Studios, and since I'm only 26 years old, that's quite a remarkable achievement. A remarkable, remarkable event.How did you choose to become a teacher?...
