"It's supposed to be HARD. If it wasn't, everyone would do it. The HARD is what makes it GREAT!"
---Tom Hanks, 'A League of Their Own'

"Just worry about the Bricks. The wall will take care of itself"

---Will Smith
(Will's Dad made him and his brother build a wall one summer. It was a huge wall. They thought they'd never finish, but they just kept laying bricks, and eventually there was a wall. I try to keep this in mind when I think of what lies ahead of me in my journey to become a successful actor. I just try to keep laying bricks, and hope that the wall will eventually be there.)

Best experience on set:
What I love about acting is that you can step outside your life. You can do things that you'd never be allowed to do in real life. Shooting those armored car heist scenes for Code Of Silence was a blast. It was like being in an action movie. Those are the kind of movies that, as a kid, I always enjoyed. I mean, how often in my life, am I going to be able to jump out of a van with an AK-47 and take down a team of armed guards? It was like playing cops and robbers as a kid...and they PAID me for to do this! Does it get any better?

Worst experience on set:
When shooting the training film for the Federal Law Enforcement Agency, we had to be handcuffed over 20 times a day for four days. Also, the cops...the REAL cops...who were shooting with us would twist our arms, the way they're supposed to for a REAL criminal. So, four days of that left me feeling pretty beat up and my wrists were raw from the cuffs. (Suffering for my art! HA!)
