What got me into was Well I liked movies and such, but what got me into acting was honestly alot of my friends in school were doing it in so I wanted to be with my friends. That was one reason. But the main reason was because I could remember going to see these plays and just enjoying seeing the actors just blow me away with their talent on stage in front of so many people. I remember telling myself that as soon as I had the opportunity to audition for the school play that I would.
But some quick fun facts about me are: My first film was: John Chu's "Step Up 2: The Streets", I was featured as 1 of the 4 Basketball Players, Actors who inspire me are: Will Smith and Denzel Washington, and some of my favorite films are: Brown Sugar, City of God, and The Dark Knight.
