ACTING
 
What and why I act:

I've played a zombie, a rapist, a prince. I've been the lead. I've been an extra. I like verbal characters with a non-traditional spin. I re-learn what it means to be human by sinking into other circumstances and people. Ordinary, quirky or just plain weird - I enjoy the ride.
