“I give life to all the voices that run around inside this head of mine.”
“I can share stories from my perspective. When I’m writing a script it gets my adrenaline rushing and I lose track of time. When I’m on stage or on set, the journey of being specific with every aspect of developing my character is exciting."

“If you’re on a path, then you’ve already arrived. The only thing to do now is set them goals and knock ‘em down.”
My heroes include Kevin Garnett and Kobe Bryant, and my ideal week would be spent following Will Smith around everywhere. In the meantime, I can be found bringing life to each character I portray on film and stages near you.
