What inspired you to pursue acting?
As far back as I can remember, I was always performing, often dancing for family friends when they came over. When I started drama in grade seven, it was the first time outside of gym that a class didn’t feel like work and I fell in love with it. Once I started high school, I had a drama teacher, Mrs. Stapleton, who constantly encouraged me to pursue a career in the arts despite my parent’s apprehension to a life in entertainment. If she had never pushed me, I’m not sure if I would have had the confidence to take acting seriously.
What is your dream role?
My dream role would be an action/adventure western. Something like Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid. I used to watch old westerns growing up with my dad and have always loved the themes of revenge and heroism. Also, the imagery of the West with great open plains, mountains, deserts and breathtaking sunsets touch me in a special way.
