I like exploring both the light parts and the dark parts of a single,person. And all of those shades tend to come out most acutely in,stories about families.
I feel lucky to be an actor because you always learn something from each,part you play.
I think actors always have that fear of unemployment so when the,opportunities are there, you just jump on them.
I kind of moved out of the town I grew up in as quick as I could. I left,right after high school.
I grew up in the suburbs.
