bartender director hired jobs kid maybe office saying short walked work york
I was a bartender in New York and I overheard this girl saying she made $3000 doing a commercial. A kid at work told me, 'Hey, I know this director and he'd really like you!'. So I walked into this guy's office and was like 'I was thinking maybe I could make $3000' and he hired me for commercials, short films, like 15 jobs in a row.
life-is-hard criminals purpose
I've always hated criminals and crime. Life is hard enough without someone walking into your life on purpose and making it worse.
mean kids color
I went to my first civil rights rally when I was 17 years old. I was a little skinny blond kid, scared to death, marching against the KKK in South Georgia. And I have never stopped marching in protests since. Not ever. I mean, LGBT rights, women's rights, the rights of people of color... I'm your guy. I'm going to be out there marching!
christian church favorite-places
Personally, I am a church-going Christian. I love my church, my congregation; it's my favorite place to be.
growing-up house church
I did not grow up watching much TV and film. I had a very, very, very, very, very, very church family, and a lot of, like, secular stuff was not around my house.
law fans enforcement
I'm super-obsessed with law enforcement. I'm what you'd call a 'cop fan.
tattoo math numbers
I love math. I have little secret number tattoos everywhere. I design them.
artist years technological-change
There is no telling what is going to happen in the music business in the next few years, hours, minutes, seconds. Giving artists the chance to produce and distribute their own material is great, very empowering. The technological changes that are happening so rapidly now, amongst all the opinions, are in truth, only two things, inevitable and unstoppable.
goal television tabloids
My whole goal was to be able to work in television and film and maintain a normal life, never be in a tabloid.
character acting way
In many ways, acting is really like a science to me to figure out the human behavior of any character that I'm playing.
beautiful girl father
I like having black hair. When I was really young, I wanted to be Asian - Asian hair is beautiful. I also wanted to look like the girl in George Michael's 'Father Figure' video.
passion thinking rights
I have a big passion about civil rights for everyone - whoever is being downtrodden at the moment, it doesn't matter: racial discrimination or sexual orientation or gender. Whatever it is, I'm there. I think I was a born civil rights activist. I can't stand the smashing of a community. It's not fair and it's not right.
character play effort
I love working with new directors. There's so much drive and effort. It still comes down to the character for me, but if it's a character I really want to play, I would never not do the project because of a new director.
real character thinking
I always tell myself that when you're playing a character, pretend they're on trial and you're giving the best witness of their life. You really need to think about every element of the character and represent them properly, as if they were a real person. You want to give 100 percent of what they're worth and what they deserve as people.
