My passion for acting came from reading books. I couldn't read until third grade, so I was in remedial classes. Growing up, I had dyslexia and missed a lot of school. By the time I entered high school I was a math and science credit ahead of grade level. Then, I graduated early to pursue acting. Hide

P-C: That's so interesting! Like you said, this is your first feature film. What surprised you the most about the experience?I have a theatre background and I'm used to a lot of rehearsals. I love to do a lot of takes, but with this being an indie film, we had to do several scenes with only one take. I just had to give it your all and move onto the next scene, and trust that the director got what he needed. Our director, Waymoon Boone, was great at juggling everything on set. Hide

P-C: How did you prepare for your role in Sunrise in Heaven? I auditioned for a ton of things this year, but this was one that attracted me as much as I attracted it. It's set in the 1950s, which is something I was immediately interested in, and is based on a book. The character that I play is a living person, so I actually got to meet her. I took her out for lunch (Chateau Marmont). I wanted to take the characteristics that I observed from her, and use them for my performance. Hide

I studied Stanley Kubrick and Anton Chekhov. I've watched everything Stanley Kubrick has ever made, except for Barry Lyndon. I don't know why, but I haven't watched that one yet. I've read over 234 plays and over a hundred screenplays. I know because I use to keep a list. I use to track my 10,000 hours. Hide

You're going to die. You're going to be dead. It could be in 10 years, it could be in tomorrow, anytime. So am I. I mean it, we're just going to be gone. The world's going to go on without us... you do your job in the face of that, and how seriously you take yourself, you decided for yourself. Hide
