I still consider performing my first love. There is no high like it! I got the acting bug when I was 9…and without disclosing my age, I’ll just say I have been at it for over 20 years. Growing up, I did a slew of less than stellar performances in Commercials, TV, Films & Theatre. I was a natural “performer”, in the sense that I could memorize a script, follow direction, but I didn’t really know what acting was all about. The majority of the work I’m most proud of, I did after training in New York. I really learned the craft of acting and how much work it takes to do it REALLY WELL. I had spent a lot of time singing in bands and doing stand up which kept me from seriously focusing on acting. Now that I have the skills, the reality is, there are only so many roles I’m “right” for. This is one of the challenges actors face, but I take the opportunity to learn and grow even while teaching or casting.
