Musically Inclined Luke Mcfarlane Attended Juilliard For Acting
One fun fact is that Luke Macfarlane is very musical. He told the Courant that he eschewed athletics. Instead, he was in the boy’s choir and played the cello.
He was also part of a successful band called Nameless. Macfarlane was the main songwriter, and they recorded music and had some success. But, he decided to leave the band.
Instead, he auditioned for Juilliard by playing the cello. However, although Luke McFarlane played beautiful cello for his role in Chateau Christmas, he was not accepted to the prestigious school for music. Instead, he convinced them to let him into their famed drama program.
Don’t miss Luke portraying an architect in the upcoming Hallmark movie, Moriah’s Lighthouse.
