How did you begin acting?
I started really young, acting in church plays. Every year for Christmas, the church youth would make a play, and I would perform in it. In middle school, I was really interested in taking acting classes, but I couldnt afford to, so I waited until high school and joined a film and theater program that got defunded a few weeks after I joined.
After that, I joined another nonprofit theater program in my school called Opening Act. I was performing off-broadway, creating plays at the end of every semester, and thats how I met Katie [Cappiello], through one of the Opening Act students. Since then, Ive been acting, doing theater, and touring plays around America for almost eight years. Now, Im here.
What was your first-ever audition like?
My first big audition was for a film, and I was already having a bad day, and I had never auditioned in person prior to that, so I went. I hadnt even memorized, something had happened before, and I was already running late, and I was upset and crying. Once I got there, I didnt even really want to audition. They saw that I wasnt with it. My first self-tape that I did was for 13 Reasons Why, and I didnt see myself on that show.
What have you been streaming lately?
I May Destroy You, P-Valley, Lovecraft Country, and Sex Education.
