I was born and raised in New York, so I was blessed - or some say cursed - with a strong New York accent.
I'm pretty versatile. I'm able to adapt to an environment and the way I view things based on who I'm with.
It is important to always love what you do and do what you love. This is my mentality towards my career and my personal life.
My biggest life lesson is that money cannot buy happiness.
It is important for me to truly understand the people I am portraying and their struggles, in order to give an honest performance.
With voice over work, you need to convey as much emotion as you can without making any physical movements, so it's hard. You've got to visualize everything.
