About Me

First, I'm an actor. Check out my reel: The days I take myself with a grain of salt I'm at my best. I'm currently doing everything in my power to make acting my sole career allowing me the free time I need not to mention the passion I have for the damn thing. I love the endless search for thoughts and emotions provoked through characters I play. I try to make every character unique in his own way and avoid playing myself yet they're all made up from different pieces of me, my past life experiences and what I've witnessed in this lifetime. I feel my empathy for others has at times left me heavy hearted yet the further I walk this journey the more I realize how thankful I am for that trait. We've come so far, we've got so far to go. I tend to withdraw from negativity unless it needs to be addressed. I tend to like people who like themselves. I like to help people who are trying to help themselves. I have love for everyone including myself. I try and surround myself with self-motivated people so we can walk side by side and help build one another along the way. Payback is not always a bitch, sometimes it's the most fulfilling feeling on earth. I constantly tell myself to focus on what's in my control. Sometimes I'm shy and reserved other times I'm incredibly outgoing and fearless. I get a kick out of people who pin me for being just one of those. While flying on a plane I realized this could all end so suddenly. I live every moment this adventure has to offer. I except my failures I choke on my regrets. We won't fall if we don't climb, either way, we're all going to die. I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)

Books:

Plays/screenplays, whatever I'm in next (I did read Boy Culture the novel before production of the film. If you saw the movie you have to read the book written by the brilliant New York Times best selling author Matthew Rettenmund, I've met him on numerous occasions and you wouldn't know his amazing life achievements, he's humble and a great guy to be around. He's also on my top friends, friend him)... OK, so I haven't been doing much reading lately. Not good for multiple reasons- Not working and not creating extra wrinkles in my brain. For what it's worth I read magazines all the time. I know, it's a sorry excuse. I'm in the hunt for a good book to spark up the imagination/creativity, any suggestions?

Heroes:

My parents George and Bunny and my sister Laura, she's always had my back. Tony Doupe', mentored me and helped me gain representation. Q. Allan Brocka, the brilliant director of the hit feature Boy Culture who played an instrumental roll in casting me in the film. Darryl Stephens, amazing actor, plays Andrew in Boy Culture and flat out REPs me everywhere I go. I am forever in debt to these incredibly talented and creative people. I don't forget.
