I've always had the utmost respect and awe of what the lens can do and what a director can do with just a camera move.
I never thought I'd be making a living off of acting - it's still kind of a shock for my family and friends to see my face on TV every Wednesday night.
My parents instilled a very strong work ethic in me from a young age, fortunately.
I looked like a 'Super Mario Bros.' Goomba. It's arguably the ugliest haircut on the planet.
Cargo pants freak me out. Too many pockets. I always forget where my wallet is.
I've taken magic lessons since I was five-years-old. When I was little I would wear a top hat and cape, and I'd get relentlessly beat up by jocks. That's why I don't care for sports.
I was horrified of the dark. I realized that the only way I could get over that fear was by scaring other people, so I became obsessed with ghost stories, drawing monsters, watching monster movies, sneaking into horror movies, and it's just been the love of my life forever.
I love polite people, late September, weeping mortar, and my fantastic fands (fans/friends)
I studied directing prior to acting and I've done music videos and documentaries and things that were sort of well-received.
I just love entertaining. I will do anything - stand-up comedy, video games, fencing, internet shorts - I just want to keep being lucky enough to entertain people anyway I can. I try never to limit my art to a medium.
I guess I'm just in the flow and riding the wave,
My favorite time of year is October, Halloween is my favorite holiday, and I know that watching horror movies was such a special thing to me as a child and my only dream is that I get to make it feel like Halloween all year round for other kids, for other weirdos like me.
I've seen so many beautiful curvy women gain success in hollywood and then wither into bobble headed stick figures in some grotesque attempt to fit a revolting hollywood trend. I like real women, not the broomsticks that Hollywood has been selling lately.
I'm obsessed with coffee. My doctor says if I don't cut back, I am going to permanently damage my esophagus. No joke.
