I first got into acting when I was 14, coming back from a junior high school basketball game. My mom picked me up and she had been mentioning, prior to that, this community production of 'Godspell', a couple towns over. I was reluctant, at first, and she bribed me with some great dinner that was in that town, neighboring the theater.
I think that I am willing to do anything. I like to collaborate. If my voice will be heard, than I will do some research and think about it.
I loved doing Cee Lo’s Bright Lights in the Big City. That was definitely a favorite of mine, because I love to get all soulful. And a close second would be Flo Rida’s Right Round, because I could rap, which I’ve never really done before.
I do come from a theater background, where the playwright is optimal and king and you have to serve the playwright. So I am, of course, a huge fan of scripted everything.
My introduction to acting was through theatre, so I actually saw a couple of Broadway shows that made me want to be an actor.
I like to do things that are shocking or challenging for the sake of comedy.
I do like to dress up and look nice, and I'm inspired by people who do the same - people who express themselves through how they dress.
