About Me
What drives me is the experience of the pain of feeling worthless. Not good enough. Everyone knows it. Few chose to tell their story through acting. I do. I can't live without it. Hence I am often cast in roles where the pain that I bring into them all works well - but I love a challenge and am always open to new experiences as it's what we are in it for, let's be honest, branding aside!! It's like living a million lives in one. Only actors get that chance. And apparently I can also be pretty hilarious according to the director of The Doll. Always the best, or at least one of the best, at my acting class, the teachers always recognised a natural talent in me, even when I did not know how to act for camera yet, or hadn't even taken acting lessons yet, an this only got deepened as I learned more and more. I am relatable and interesting to watch, I was told. I love to go with the in obvious choices and give it my all. I also believe in believing in people. I'd hate to get arrogant about a small success when you can never know where the people you have to do with will be in five or ten years. I believe in breaking the rules where they only exist in our minds. Sometimes you need to find your own way, even when it's not the norm. Sometimes what you want to do can be done, against all odds. I know I have value to give to the world through my acting. I'm looking to further my career in film and TV, and am looking for more on-camera experience first and foremost, but interested in others where opportunities arise (such as singing, theatre, etc..) I've got some modelling experience.
