Unfortunately the innocent are always involved in any conflict. Always, everywhere, there is some voice crying from a tower. — Graham Greene
From as early as I can remember, I wanted to have something to do with the acting business.

I have been acting for almost 20 years now. At first it changed in my focus and how much I wanted to act. When I was younger, it was so much fun, and I really wanted it, but it was not competitive.

If everybody did just one thing. Just one thing. Not even a great thing. Not a world-changing thing, just one blessing, just one act of living kindness.
