Personal Quote: When I started acting I loved the art of acting, the process but really hated the business side of it. As time went on I grew to appreciate it more and realize its importance. Now don't get me wrong to make it in this business it takes talent but its more about who you know, how well you network and how good you look that gets you the part. It took me a long time to understand that. If I knew then what I know now, I'd be closer to my ultimate goal. Better late than never I guess. I do what I do, some people like me for it, others hate me for it, that's life. I'm just trying to make a decent living within what I love - films - anything outside of that carries little weight for me Find out more at https://still-toking-with.pinecast.co
