Biography
Devita is from Long Island, New York. He spent years as a first mate on a boat off of Long Island.[1] His one-person show In Acting Shakespeare chronicles his journey from working on fishing boats to becoming an actor and director of classical theater.[2] The play is a personalized adaption of Ian McKellen's Acting Shakespeare, which inspired DeVita to become an actor when he saw it in 1983.[3]
Reception
In 2015, Wall Street Journal drama critic Terry Teachout wrote that "America has no finer classical actor than Jim DeVita."[4]
