Your educational background is at Julliard. Your experience in productions such as “King Lear,” “Trojan Woman,” and “House of Joy” are a great foundation to the roles you’re doing now. Are there any other experiences that shaped you into the actor you are?
Growing up, my parents showed me a range of movies, from “Usual Suspects” to “Donnie Darko.” Being exposed to these wonderful films inspired me to become an actor and fueled my passion for the craft.

You were previously in a mystery-drama, “The Society.” What was the process like to work with such a wide-ranging cast?
So much fun! I learned a lot from my cast mates who had so much collective experience that helped me grow as an actor.
