Andrew Fish
Cast
Andrew Fish is a fourth year mechanical engineering major from Fairfield, Connecticut who, in a moment of insight, decided that Saturday afternoons were better spent singing and dancing than sleeping and watching TV.

Past credits include: a kindergarten adaptation of the story of Pandora’s Box, a ninth-grade Spanish movie project in which he played a chain-smoking French government agent, and a home-made scary movie that has a staggering 75 views on YouTube. Thanks to Jeff , Matt, and Erin for putting this amazing project together and allowing him to participate.

After performing in countless musicals in the area, he is now spreading his unique brand of ginger to the online world.
