Did a 3 hr long play on Fredrick Douglas in the 4th grade. Played Unlce Jethro. **** was flames, had the best role in that joint. Folks all loved my scenes cuz I was young and made it funny.

I'll be in business, but with that said its always open for some acting.

I really cant pin point. Its just been a pleasure of mines to observe actors so I naturally was drawn to it. Early tv shows I guess. Wonder Years and Saved By The Bell were the stuff I'd watch after school if it wasnt cartoons.

Thought I might as well answer my own questions...

Question One: When did you realise you wanted to be an actor/actress?
- When I was in Middle School, it was 7th grade, I recently had just broken my back and so my entire life at that time (sports) were taken away from me. I was your typical jock in every sense of the word including what I felt was my god given right to make fun of all the "gay" acting/singing/dancing guys. Well one day while I was standing out of the theater, the director saw me poking fun of a friend who was in the play. She told me I was either going to be a extra in the play, or I was going to be suspended. I joined the play, kinda liked it, and caught the attention of a girl who was an actress...yadda yadda yadda...we started to "go out" (I miss old Middle School terms I don't use anymore) and she pressured me into auditioning for the next play. I did, got a lead, loved it, and never really looked back.

Question Two: Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
- Working in London or possibly New York. My primary goal as an actor is in movies/television, however I want to spend the next decade or so exploring stage work, and since my mom lives in New York, and my dad lives in London, it's nice easy access to two of the world's greatest areas for stage performence.

Question Three: Who would you say has influenced you the most in this feild?
- My Freshmen year Technical Theatre director (in 4 years of high school I had 3 tech directors, 5 acting directors, 2 music directors, and 3 dance directors...). By far though the most impactful one was Freshman year, he taught me more about not only the theater itself, but Theatre as an art form and I will never be able to thank him enough.

oh yay, I LOVE answering questions!

When did you realise you wanted to be an actor/actress?
when I was five years old. I was ALWAYS performing. singing, dancing... I didn't even take classes or anything back then, I just knew I wanted to be a STAR!

Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
hmmm. well, I'll be 30 (er, 31 almost) and... I really have no idea where I'll be. I'm at a very pivotal point in my life where I can go this way or that, and depending on which way I go... I may be in england... or in new york or boston or... texas. or who knows!

Who would you say has influenced you the most in this field?
hmm. I can't really say. I never looked up to an actor/actress and thought THEY ARE WHY I WANT TO ACT... I just wanted to. in fact, if anything, I've been discouraged from doing this as a career. I'd have to say that my closest friends have been the most supportive... but I really haven't been influenced by anyone/thing. is that weird? maybe I have been influenced but I don't realize it...

About 2 years ago, actually it's kind of a weird and long story.

Robert DeNiro... I find myself watching classics over and over and over, he's that great of an actor.
