Turn to the dictionary definition of “over-achiever” and you may well find yourself looking at a picture of Dylan Alcott.
“I’ve had a burning desire to have a crack at acting for two reasons. One, I love sharing stories and challenging myself, but also I want greater representation on our screens, on our stages of people with disability. It’s always been something that I’ve been passionate about and I thought rather than talk about it, let’s give it a crack.”
And while this is Alcott’s first time on stage, he can already list “actor” on his impressive resume, after his role last year in the streaming show,“That was a good test because I was like, ‘If I don’t like it, I won’t do it. But also, if I’m really, really crap, I won’t do it’,” he says. “But I got a good enough response.”
“Of course there will be nerves, but I also get on a stage three times a week and do a lot of keynote presenting,” he says. “So in that instance, I’m used to the stage.”It’s impossible to separate Alcott from his position as a high-profile advocate for his community and he is well awareDylan Alcott’s tennis career is just one of the highlights of the 33-year-old’s resume. Here, he celebrates winning Wimbledon.
