The self admitted 'fruit junkie' is all about the fresh produce: bananas, berries, peaches, plums, apples, whatever happens to be in season near his parent's house in Northern California. Growing up, Pinkham says he was surrounded by some of the finest produce in the Golden State. Though he loves a good pasta as much as the next guy, he usually avoids the guilty pleasure when he knows he's going onstage.

The California native likes to keep it healthy even while working on such a demanding show. But if I have too much in my stomach, I'll get indigestion onstage, which can affect your singing.' If I don't have enough in my stomach, I will get lightheaded and lose energy. 'I'm running around out there the entire time. 'The thing that happens is, I can't go out there with too much food in my stomach,' he explains. Killing off your kin requires a special kind of fuel, and Pinkham has tried his fair share to feed fair Monty. 'I haven't figured it out yet honestly, and I've been doing the show for two years.' 'The schedule is so skewed, and food has a lot to do with it,' Pinkham says.

Killing off six other D'Ysquiths once a day (and twice on Wednesday and Saturday) to the tune of 48 hilariously tragic murders a week at the Walter Kerr Theatre can make a man work up quite an appetite. The week I chatted with him, the singing actor was doing a reading, working with his non-profit organization based in Madagascar, and, of course, charming audiences as the murderous yet enchanting Monty Navarro.
