Personal life

Smith was born in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin.[1] He attended Lincoln Elementary School and Beaver Dam High School,[1][2] before studying at the University of Minnesota,[1][2] where he received his BA in theatre, as well as being nominated for the National Irene Ryan Acting Award at the American College Theatre Festival.[3]

He has been in over 500 radio and television commercials for brands including Target, SuperAmerica, Hillshire Farm, Cub Foods and John Deere.[1][2] He has appeared in more than 75 stage productions, including lead roles in Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead in Minneapolis,[4] Run for Your Wife at Wausau, Wisconsin,[5] and A Closer Walk with Patsy Cline, at Plymouth Playhouse, Twin Cities.[3][6]

A reviewer wrote that in Run for Your Wife, "Smith played the beleaguered bigamist, John Smith, to weary perfection. His British accent was believable and his physical comedy flawless."[7] A reviewer of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead wrote, "They are a nicely matched pair exhibiting just enough shadings of difference to make them more than ciphers. ... Smith's Guildenstern is a more practical, moody sort, who cannot understand their impending fate."[4]
