Ingersoll has dedicated a year to creating his superb characterization of a blood-sucking half-bat, half-human creature… His bald, deathly pale skin combined with ballplayer’s muscular physique belies the genteel, immaculately voiced aesthete the monster becomes.” -Commercial Appeal “In the role of the bat boy, Michael A.
