Theater's my first love. I love it. It excites me. It feeds me.
I would have to say honestly I was very pleased to be in a movie whether it was good or bad with De Niro, Norton and Brando even if I don't have any scenes with them I thought it was pretty good company to keep.

I hope I just continue to be passionate about the roles and to always endeavor to bring clarity and honesty to the table and different ideas.
