Ian played Lazar Wolf in Sewickley Academy’s Fiddler on the Roof. When watching Ian on stage, I kept coming back to the thought that he looks a lot like Pierre Bezukhov from Leo Tolstoy's “War and Peace”, specifically in Sergey Bondarchuk’s screen adaptation, when he’s saying “When our lives are knocked off course we imagine everything in them is lost. It is only the start of something new and good. As long as there is life there is happiness. There is a great deal, a great deal still to come.”
