1.-How was your childhood? During my childhood, I was able to learn how to play music and be creative. My family encouraged music very music since my Uncle and Grandfather were incredible musicians.  I grew up in a family of four, with my mother, father, brother, and myself. I have also had dogs as well. I went to school for a while and then became homeschooled in the fourth grade all the way until the end of high school.  2.-How did you decide to be a singer? I decided I wanted to be a singer due to the health challenges I faced as a child. I was in the hospital very frequently, and the doctors could not figure out why my health was not good. I didn't have a lot of friends and I was bullied in school. I began writing music in my room and ever since then, I have been writing songs every day! In 2020, I started to do online live streams on Instagram, and I was able to get up to 200,000 followers. People would share their stories as I played my original songs and told me

1.- How was your childhood? I had a very idyllic upbringing in the English Countryside in Devon. Back then we didn't have computers or the internet so I would often pass the time sketching in the woods and fields. However at the age of 9 I was diagnosed with Tuberculosis (although in a neck gland and not my chest). Years ago that would have been a death sentence. After two operations and a year on drugs and weekly injections I was cleared. It meant however I missed a lot of school but again I filled that void with drawing. The whole experience I believe was to shape my life, turning a negative into a positive.   2.-How were your beginnings as a filmmaker? At the age of 10 my Mum gave me a book called “The Disney Films” by Leonard Maltin. I poured over the artwork and photos, most of which was in black and white. It had some stills of Disney World in Florida. I asked my Mum if we could go there but she said you had to be rich to be able to afford to go there. Years later

1-. How was your childhood? I grew up in Leeds, West Yorkshire (England). I have some lovely memories such as going on family holidays to the coast, spending school holidays with my grandparents and obsessing over Pokémon (as most 90’s kids did!). I was a very shy child, and I went through a phase of running away in tears if anyone attempted to catch me on camera (the irony!). From my early teens, I began to suffer with mental health issues of which I battled with for around 2 decades. I am happy to report that these issues do not impact my life now as they did. Although, we cannot regret the past as it makes us who we are today. If I did not experience what I did, I would not be able to easily access such strong emotional recall that is needed to perform complex characters and their difficult emotions. 2. - From what age did you decide to be an actress and how did you know you had the skills to go on TV? I never knew I had the skills to act, and I didn’t pursue this for

1-. How was your childhood? First of all thank you for having me Carlos. It’s my pleasure to be here and to be interviewed. My childhood was, I would say, pretty average. I grew up in a neighbourhood in South East London where you needed to grow up fast and have your wits about you. I am grateful for the life lessons learnt from an early age. It served me well in my adult life both in acting and in business.    2-. From what age did you decide to be an actor and filmmaker and how did you know you had the skills to go on TV?  I wanted to act from an early age and found performance a wonderful way to be whatever I wanted to be. Acting allows you to do things and play parts that you wouldn’t dream of doing in real life. This is what fascinates me most about this art, craft and profession. Being so many different people, from all walks of life and different backgrounds, and then when it’s all over going back to being myself and looking forward to getting into the mind of someon

1-. How was your childhood?  I grew up in the city of Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. My childhood was great. So many fantastic memories of 80’s movies & music. We had so many awesome family events. I played many sports and was a huge Ice Hockey & Pro Wrestling fan. Family & friends were everything. 2-. From what age did you decide to be an actor and filmmaker and how did you know you had the skills to go on TV? I was about 7 years old when I discovered the love for acting after seeing Back To The Future at the local movie theater in 1985. It would be several years later before I knew I had the skills to perform in film & television after trying my hand in independent film. That’s where I cut my teeth and sharpened my skill set. 3-. Did your parents support you in the decision you made to be an actor? reer. As does my amazing wife Kristin & daughter Kelsey. None of this is possible without any of them. A great support system carries you through the highs and

1-. How was your childhood? I grew up as an only child, so I had to occupy my time a lot. I used to watch a lot of television growing up, but I also liked to read and was an advanced reader for my age. This is probably why I ended up becoming a writer (writing comes naturally to me). I also liked to draw, play the violin, dance, and sing. I was always very artistic. 2. - From what age did you decide to be an actress and how did you know you had theskills to go on TV? Although I always wanted to do theater in high school, I didn’t because I had a fear of public speaking. I studied drama in college and took a few acting classes, but music was always my passion. It wasn’t until my mid-twenties that I decided I wanted to act and started taking some classes. Regardless of whether people say I’m a good actress or not, which I know I am, I’ve always been confident in myself and have never placed any limitations on myself whatsoever. At one point or another, I always succeed at
