About me
View profile
I'm an actor who loves being a part of the creation of a dream, a vision. To me, acting is about empathy. It is about meticulously preparing for your part, then letting yourself free fall trusting your director and colleagues on set. It is about the dialectics of life, about life itself. I don't only extremely enjoy performing a character in a production, but it also helps me believe in different realities, different narratives and futures being possible in this life.
