As Kartheiser wraps up Mad Men Season 5 on AMC, he turns his attention to his role as Sebastian, a brilliant young novelist coping with great personal loss in the aftermath of September 11, 2001. Watch the video interview, in which Kartheiser talks about the energy and passion he brings to his roles and how he was recruited for this world premiere production by playwright Jonathan Marc Feldman, below!

Sebastian goes into seclusion in his Manhattan apartment, refusing to write again. A mysterious and beautiful stranger intrudes, telling incredible stories of her own. Is she yet another fan of his work, or is she something else entirely? This play is about finding the tenacity to thrive in a dangerous, unpredictable world, and to create again.

The production, directed by Rick Lombardo, runs from Aug. 30 to Sept. 23, 2012 at San Jose Repertory Theatre. This interview was conducted by PRx Digital.
