Author Information

I have been working with film from my youth from creating short stories and acting in them. I began my acting career as a background actor and after securing over one hundred set jobs in the course of a year I landed stand in, photo doubling, featured roles and my first speaking role, all paid. I also increased my Facebook and Instagram following with over three hundred new friends that are background and crew. I have became a much more successful individual through my acting journey and it all began as an extra.
