 Greg
Nutcher is a retired police detective, born and raised in New Haven
Connecticut. For the most part, Greg has planned his path in life
and has pretty much hit his goal in every regard. These achievements
did not come easy though, nor did he expect they would. Growing up
he always knew that he wanted to be an actor, however as part of his
plan, it wouldn’t be until he was able to devote his full time
towards the craft that he would be able to attain this goal. As a
young boy and teenager he worked very hard toward his first major
goal, which was to own a home. He was able to save enough money
doing everything from delivering newspapers to cutting neighbors
lawns, saving enough money to purchase his first home at the age of
19. To offset the cost of the mortgage, he rented out two extra
bedrooms. The idea of renting out his home quickly became a full
time investment opportunity, and he went on to purchase several
multi-family properties. Since then, he has had a very successful
career investing in real estate.
At about this same time he was also interested in Law Enforcement.
At the age of 20 he was hired by the Hamden Connecticut police
department where he enjoyed a very successful career. Throughout his
career he held many positions and received over 25 awards and
commendations from The FBI, State of Connecticut and several police
departments throughout the state. He believes that while dealing
with a wide array of people and particularly nasty situations he
developed and honed his skills at creating a variety of different
characters. Greg is most proud of his position as a detective, where
he believes, unknowingly, he learned a great deal about acting. Greg
believes he developed most of his skills as a detective, while
conducting interviews and interrogations. Greg says that any
successful police detective needs to develop different characters
that adapt to the person you are attempting to obtain information
from.
These people range from witnesses and burglars to rapists and
murderers. Greg received intensive training in interview and
interrogation, and also credits his very talented co-workers. He
says although he, nor the other detectives might not have realized
it at the time, he was learning the art of “acting” from watching
and listening to his colleagues while they conducted their
interviews. He says to interview a murderer or a rapist for example,
and achieve a successful outcome for the victim and their family,
you must be able to become someone you are not, which means creating
many personas.
Now that Greg has retired from the police department, he is enjoying
a very successful acting career. He is currently studying acting at
HB Studio in New York City, and has also taken classes at Micheal
Howard Studio, Weist Barron, New England Academy of Theatre, Actors
Gym, Play On Acting Studio and has studied extensively with Reno
Venturi and Joel Stedman, winner of over 100 awards in the
entertainment business.
Some of Greg’s hobbies include woodworking, hiking, canoeing and
gardening. He is also active in the community, currently serving on
The Clean and Green Commission for the Town of Hamden, is a member
of the Hamden Historical Society and Sleeping Giant Park
Association.
