His play for young audiences Dancing on the Ceiling (an adaptation of Kafkaâs âThe Metamorphosisâ) and stage adaptation of Frankenstein are both published by Broadway Play Publishing.
On TV, Austin has played recurring roles on 24, Alias, Felicity, Ally McBeal, and The Practice, as well as guest starring as Guys In Ties on The West Wing, ER, The X-Files, The Mentalist, Nip/Tuck, Gilmore Girls, and on many other hours of episodic television.
