As an actor, you have to just think about the truth of your character. You have to think about how to play the character in the way that you know it needs to be played in your heart and why you were hired.

Just because I don't have a college degree doesn't mean I am not smart!

But I get to tell stories, and that’s a pretty important task.

I always loved acting and improv and sketch comedy and theater, which I did at a local youth theater.
