I’m an actor because I love movies, and always have loved movies. I’m a film buff. So, getting to work with those kinds of directors and getting to tell those stories is what I want to do.
What’s great about New York is that there are a lot of theater actors and actresses, who are trained actors, that they bring onto the show. They’re so talented, in such a weird, quirky and ominous way. And it’s great to be able to work with new faces, too.
