Adam Nowak (Honorary Baldwin, circa 2000 B.C.)

Adam Nowak has been acting and doing comedy stuff for a long, long time. So long you'd say "Really? And you're not making a living at it yet?" To which Adam would say "These video games don't play themselves, am I right?!?!?" He was the founding member of The Eclectic Company in Buffalo, performed in the scifi improv show POD at Gothem City Improv and created and stars in the hit show The Strange Box of Dr. Oddbody - his personal favorite thing he ever made up.

Lucas Kavner originated in the wilds of Southern California before spending his high school years in Plano, Texas and then his college years in Middlebury, Vermont.

He's been performing at the PIT for a couple years and has also studied at the UCB theatre. In addition to improv, he's acted in numerous plays and written quite a few things as well. You may have seen him in one of many hilarious videos on the World Wide Web or on "Michael and Michael Have Issues" on the television. Or not. Maybe you didn't see him in anything. Go Home Team!

Steve is an actor born and raised in Milford, CT. Sometimes he acts like a lighting technician for movies and tv. He's been in lots of commercials but would love to be in your incomprehensible non narrative film, just ask him, seriously. But don't ask him to light your incomprehensible non narrative film, just don't. Previous to The Baldwins, Steve performed with Punch and Handsy at The PIT. Steve enjoys thinking about things that are beyond him. Catch Steve every Thursday night playing on The Scene.

She also loves to remember the time she was nominated for Best Actress at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival for her performance in the play "Crooked" which she also performed in the Summer Play Festival. Shelly's face and voice has also sold you things in the form of TV and radio commercials. She's also afraid of birds because they look like flying nubs in the sky.

Josh Fulton (2007-2008)

Josh Fulton was born in the woods of the desert, where he began confounding people from a young age. As a teenager, he tried to be a "Rain Maker" for local communities, but only succeeded in producing fog, which severely annoyed townspeople. He eventually moved to New York where he studied at NYU and began performing improv comedy. He studied improv for several years before joining the Baldwins, which was easily the greatest experience of his life. Granted, not many things had happened in his life, but still he didn't see how things could get better. He currently lives in Wilmington, North Carolina, where he is pursuing an MFA in Creative Writing, a degree which has a hefty professional cache to it. So, please, when you see him flying around in his hover Lambroghini, remember that he earned it: he has an MFA. His website is surprisingly serious, considering the tone of his bio.

Keong Sim (2007)

An original member, Keong is credited naming us "The Baldwins." Because Keong is a famous actor now, we pulled the rest of his bio from his website. "Keong's first film line was: "In the butt?" in "Marci X", starring Lisa Kudrow and Damon Wayans. Though edited out, he has since worked on other films. Most recently he performed in M. Night Shyamalan's The Last Airbender. In improv, he has studied at IOWest; Upright Citizens Brigade; Chicago City Limits; and the Peoples Improv Theatre (PIT) in New York. He has toured with Chicago City Limits' National Touring Company and performed on IO West's THE LIST and several PIT house teams." http://www.keongsim.com/
