MICHAEL GILPIN (Guy 1)- After spending 2 1/2 years in a Turkish prison, Mike is making his New York debut in Monkeys. He graduated with a BFA in acting from Ithaca College in '97 and is delighted to be acting again. He would like to thank Pete and James for the opportunity, his cast for all the laughs, his family for their undying love and support, and his pen pals for always keeping hope alive.
