There are those special projects that don't ever feel like work but just a blessing to be a part of, and 'Revolution' is one of those projects.
When I first started, I would go to Weist-Barron, and I studied with Rita Litton and ACTeen. For teenagers, it's a really, really great school. We did a lot of on-camera stuff, so you see yourself and what you do on camera.
I directed a half hour comedy pilot, 'Upgrade,' and had one of the best times ever! I had such a great time directing; I would love to get to direct another project.
My first real break was meeting my manager, Julie Gibson. She's the one that introduced me to Ford and Innovative and got me started.
I've been taking martial arts for a long time. I started with tae kwon do, and then I started taking karate and mixed martial arts.
Growing up, I wasn't sure about acting, but I knew I wanted to be part of the movie industry.
When I develop a character, I usually start by creating a backstory with whatever information I have access to.
My dad didn't want me to go for drama in school, so I chose the closest thing to it and got a bachelors degree in Communications at the Manhattan College.
I actually take karate and tae-kwon-do. And so I love sparring and grappling and all that physical stuff. I studied a hybrid form of grappling, sparring, and self defense; it's more of a 'get yourself in shape,' and if you want to take it to the next level, so you're really learning valuable skills with self defense, and I really enjoy it.
