Coming from the theater I love the adrenalin rush from working on NCIS.

My priority is to hang out with the ones I love - my family, my loved ones.
I love the Discovery Channel. I love all sorts of medical shows.
My mom has a rare talent for being able to open up the refrigerator, and with the peas, the leftover eggs, the cream, the spinach, the cheese, and a little rice, she can just whip up incredible risotto.
