VNYmagazine – “Why did you become an actor?”

I love roles where the audience can be in the characters shoes see what the character is going through .”

Authenticity. The audience should believe the character exists. A great performance feels natural rather than performed.”
Actors like Viola Davis often talk about truth and vulnerability.

Rejection is part of the business . I focus on preparation and growth rather than outcomes. Every audition is an opportunity to improve.

I admire actors who bring depth and realism like Denzel Washington , Michael B Jordan , Marlon Brando . who completely disappear into their roles inspires

I want audiences to feel like they’re watching a real person, not an actor performing. Someone they can understand/relate to If the audience believes the character, they can relate to them then you’ve your job.
