1-. How was your childhood?


It was good. Brought up in the seventies to a hardworking Mom ,who did her best by me and my brothers and sister. We never wanted for nothing.

 

 

 

 

2. - From what age did you decide to be an actor and how did you know you had the skills to go on TV?  


I was 5 years old and watching The six million dollar man starring Lee Majors. A story about a bionic man who was a spy . I thought to myself , I want to do that.






3. - Did your parents support you in the decision you made to be an actor?


Every step of the way. They had concerns, which was natural, but they stuck by me. They did guide me to take up further education in a different field , as a back up if the acting failed, but I always believed in myself and in the end I did what i set out to do.






4. - What was your first appearance on the screens?


A documentary on aeroplane accidents. I played one of the pilots.  




5. - What was the role you liked the most?


A quite recent one. Playing a Navajo called Pat Gunther  in a revenge movie based on a true story. His character was complex, intriguing and though he wasn’t a nice guy, I loved telling his story.




6.- What do you think led you to fame?


Hard work , persistence , determination and no matter how many times I felt let down or that i wasn’t getting the work I wanted, I never quit. You can’t quit if you’re chasing your goals. Sooner or later , they become reality.




7-. What types of characters you would like to interpret?


Simple. Everyone on the planet! We all have our own stories to tell and I’d like to tell them.


8-. What actresses and actors do you feel comfortable working with?


There’s 3 guys in the industry I love working with. Mark Strange from IP Man - Redcon 1 is one actor. A truly nice guy and a joy to work with. Warren Hicks, we had such a great chemistry on and off set that he’s become a brother to me. Got a good friend right there. The other isn’t an actor, he’s a director. Ranjeet S Marwa. 

He trusts me absolutely with every role . We think alike and enjoy telling the story right. 



9-. In what other genres of art would you like to participate?


Writing. i love writing my own plays and films. 






10.- Do you have any anecdotes that have marked you in your life and as a person?


Nothing I can put here…





11.- What has been your greatest achievement?


There’s been a few , but I have to say winning the midlands movie awards for best actor in a supporting role back in 2020 for A.R.Gus Shame my name where i play Albanian dad Agon.






12.- What projects will you make next and which ones do you have in mind?


There’s a few in the pipeline. A road trip movie about an alcoholic father and his son, a sequel to something I’m not allowed to mention and a theatre run.

1-. How was your childhood? Coming from a musically inclined family, from an early age I knew I was passionate about music and the arts. My childhood was really defined by my creativity. I spent countless hours singing, diving into books, and writing my own short stories in the sanctuary of my room. Those were the activities that brought me joy and helped shape who I am today. 2. - From what age did you decide to be an actress and how did you know you had the skills to go on TV? When I was around five years old, my mother took me into a local music store one day, and while we were there, I saw a voice lesson in progress. It looked like so much fun to me and they were singing songs that I loved. My mother told me that I wouldn’t stop talking about the music store or the voice lesson for weeks. My parents saw how passionate I was about pursuing singing so they decided to get me lessons and I haven’t stopped singing since. My dedication to the craft of music, became the foun

1-. How was your childhood? My childhood was a whole journey on its own. A big rollercoaster with big highs and very low lows. When I was born I used to live with my mum, my grandparents, my aunt, and my uncle. And honestly, it was the best period of my childhood. I have fond memories that helped me build amazing relationships with my family. I was the only great-grandchild who met my great-grandmother and I love to be that one. Amazing warm Christmases, laughs and karaoke, playing in the backyard, enriching myself with our backgrounds. Everything we did seemed like a long-lasting warm hug. But you see I was born an actress, I just didn’t know what I was doing. I would spend hours and hours creating incredible worlds. I would save Antarctica, come back from the 18th hundreds, have 10 children, and need to save them from chaos or a princess who saved herself. I would memorize my favourite movies, go through my wardrobe to get matching outfits, and recreate whole movies

1-. How was your childhood? I grew up in a big city in Brazil, São Paulo, I was always surrounded by friends, family and many cousins. Sundays we’d go to my grandparents house and have delicious homemade food.   2. - From what age did you decide to be an actress and how did you know you had theskills to go on TV? I was 5 year old only when I’d dress up bed sheets and act in the backyard of my house. It’s funny because I always would speak a different language, almost as if I knew that one day I’d be an actor in Los Angeles. Acting has been always my passion. I graduated in acting school with 22 years old.   3. - Did your parents support you in the decision you made to be an actress? No!!! They’d say acting was a hobby, it’s so sad that so many parents had that mentality in the old days… so I graduated also in Marketing and worked in Ad Agencies to make a living.    4. - What was your first appearance on the screens? I acted mostly in plays (theater) at first and after movin
