Darren Kinzler

Darren Kinzler (they/them) is an actor, writer, and director based in New York and New Jersey. Originally from Hillsborough, New Jersey (just North of Princeton), Darren also writes short stories, choreographs combat for stage and film, and plays various tabletop role-playing games (TTRPGs) like Dungeons & Dragons. When they are out and about, you might even find them fire-eating, backpacking or camping, or maybe just learning obscure but mostly useless facts.

Fun fact: Darren has an RFID/NFC chip implanted into their hand…because it’s cool!

Darren is currently leading an “actual play” podcast where they and some of their friends, all professional artists, play TTRPGs together. You can find more information about this podcast @untoldskies_ on Instagram (feat. Purchase Acting alumn Steven Rutledge, ’24).
