For those who may not know, talk about your background. How did you get into acting? I got into acting because my mom put all of my siblings into it and it just went from there.
What has been the hardest part about navigating your career? The hardest part has been the auditioning process because it’s the longest and most stressful part of acting.
What has been your favorite role thus far? My favorite role to portray has to have been Kai Brewer on Clickbait just because of the character development he goes through toward the end, and just the general experience of working on Clickbait.
Talk about your time on Law & Order! When I worked on Law and Order: Organized Crime I had a great time working with amazing people on an amazing set in my hometown. It was a little nerve wracking at first because of how popular law and order is but I warmed up to everything after a few days of shooting.
How did the pandemic affect your daily routine? Was #Clickbait shot during or prior? If during, what were some of the challenges + rewards of working through that time? The pandemic definitely made me a lot more lazy and messed up my sleep schedule, like a lot. Clickbait started filming in November of 2019, so pre-pandemic and production stopped in February of 2020 because of the pandemic, then we started production again in october 2020 and finished in december 2020. The challenges we faced were mainly production delays and having to social distance everyone because for certain scenes there were a lot of people.

Is social media a huge factor of your journey? I would say social media is a decently big part of my career as it helps me to promote my projects a lot easier.
Clickbait displays how quickly things can turn left with excessive use of social media. What’s your point of view? Don’t believe everything you see on the Internet and please never share your personal information with people you meet online.
Let’s talk about the subtle build of your character’s story line! We first see “” come out of his shell in episode 7+ 8, in defense of his mother. As an actor how did you find the motivation to embody this character? Being that Kai was confused on what the truth was and had been bottling up his emotions the entire time, I just had to think of all the trauma he’d been dealing with and how it would feel to be in that situation.
Were you surprised at the success of this film? I was astounded by how much success the shows gotten and I’m sure it wasn’t only me. We knew the show was going to be good but we never thought that it would be this good, so, a big shocker for all of us.
We have to ask! Fashion is always evolving. How would you describe your style & what are your main dos + donts these days? I would say my style is flashy, loud, and also quite dapper if I do say so myself.
What can your fans look forward to next? I have some upcoming Disney+ projects on the way as well as some other classified projects so make sure you stick around for those ;)
