Biography
My goals
«I want to be able to live my passion and to be able to earn a living from it. I consider being able to do something one enjoys to be the greatest good of our time. My goal is to move something with my acting, even if it is only occasionally the facial muscles of the audience when they laugh. Most of all, I would like to be able to do that all over the world.»
