What was one of the highlights of your UBC experience?
Being able to frame acting as sculpting in my final year. I would come into Binnings studio space with goals of authentic transformation both in and out of class times. Teasing out new characters became obsession for me this year, and that’s huge when I think about everything I’ve learned here — I am so thankful to have had these performative explorations with my friends and teachers.
What kind of creative work do you see yourself doing in the next few years?
I am ready to plug away at film acting! I want to stretch as a person and actor in as many filmic opportunities/genres as possible.
What is your dream role?
I AM PUTTING 2:
– Batman Beyond/Terry McGinnis
– Roy Orbison
A cyberpunk-y superhero and a 50s-60s Rock n’ Roller 🙂
Who is your favourite playwright?
Tracy Letts.
What are some of your special skills?
Rock/pop vocals, guitar, bouldering/rock climbing, mask work / Commedia Dell’arte training, basic kickboxing, basic stage combat, general NY accent, basic French speaking, full driver’s license, roof maintenance, truck driving, improvisation.
Who would you most like to have dinner with?
The cast of my go to ‘watch-while-eating-dinner’ YouTube channel (since childhood), “Smosh Pit.”
