How would you describe yourself?: “I’m one who loves great energy, an avid foodie who is not shy to get his hands dirty in the kitchen. I’m passionate about my work and socially ambivalent.”
What is your creative process like?: “For my work as an actor, I find the early hours of the morning best in preparing for a role. Once I get my coffee in, it’s on!”
