when i saw you, he's gonna big one day, kid i was the giving the vibe well stick with it pal

what is this guy looking at? what was he doing, heah.

when you moved to NY with the goal, acting, this is what i wanna do. what was the ride like?

trial and tribulations, kinda went through the grind, learn how to eat, sleep for dinner, things like that but then the sprit of NY kinda opened up, it's herself and there's a lot of serendipity that carried me through 7 years of concrete jungle grind.

did you get any gigs before beef? yeah, i worked with like all the universities like student film, short film, indi films, a lot of films, hoping nobody ever finds, number of performances hope no one ever sees. it's kinda felt like failing upward trajectory

but i read somewhere i thought you maybe you thought about quitting acting cause i don't know how i am gonna do it. if it's gonna work out.

numerous my time. i think one needs delusion to pursue acting to stay the course. i just got to point where i did enough psychedelics to realize am i happy, pursuing this am i the same person when i started and trying to reevaluate where my happiness truly really? whether that's in craft or in holywood?
