Why did you become an actor?
“For me, a life in art has always been about the people I have met along the way.

Also, as far back as my memory goes I remember my family laughing together, which was, to me, the most wonderful feeling in existence (it still is). I have been inspired by, to name a few: my parents, my sister, my grandfather, just about every SNL cast member from my childhood and comedians from Comic Relief, as well as all of my teachers including Mark Hunter, John Cameron, Larry Silverberg, Dexter Bullard, Anthony Meindl and all of the teachers at AMAW, Aretha Sills, Susan Messing, Michael McCarthy, Dat Phan, Chris Clobber, Vicki Baumann, and many others, including every student I’ve ever encountered in class.
