Quotes
“When I decided to go to university I didn’t know what I wanted to do. When I had an opportunity to take an elective I took Drama by chance, even though I’d never taken a Drama course or even been in a play in high school. Two years later I was majoring in Drama and I knew I wanted to be an actor. I still remember the teachers; they had a huge influence on me and were instrumental in becoming who I am today.”
