He’s performed with the RSC around the world, off-Broadway, in London’s West End and in the PBS version of The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged). He has written stage adaptations of Frankenstein, a Kafka-for-kids adaptation of The Metamorphosis called Dancing on the Ceiling, and (with Reed Martin) the irreverent reference book Reduced Shakespeare: The Complete Guide for the Attention-Impaired (abridged), the comic e-book memoir How the Bible Changed Our Lives (Mostly for the Better) and the stage comedies History of America, The Bible (Helen Hayes Award nomination for Best New Play), All The Great Books (abridged), Completely Hollywood (abridged), The Complete World of Sports (abridged) and The Ultimate Christmas Show (abridged), all of which are published and/or translated into over a dozen languages. His television credits include recurring roles on Alias, 24, The Practice, Ally McBeal and Felicity, as well as Guys In Ties on ER, X-Files, West Wing, Gilmore Girls, Nip/Tuck and shows like them. Tichenor produces and hosts the weekly Reduced Shakespeare Company Podcast, now in its eighth year, available on iTunes, Stitcher, and at reducedshakespeare.com. He is a fifth-generation San Franciscan born on the 54th anniversary of the 1906 Earthquake and the 185th anniversary of Paul Revere’s Ride, which makes him older than he looks but short for his weight.
