My Faith and Why I Do What I Do

Aside from prayer, my only source of release is performing. When I perform I’m escaping from my life and exploring someone else's I'm a happy person but sometimes the stress from life can be overwhelming.

When I’m performing, what my character has to say is automatically heard. I don’t have to fight for the audience to hear me. When I act I’m living the life of a person in another universe, world or time. I’m so caught up in the performance that I forget about my life, I’m dealing with someone else's problems or conflicts. I love acting, it is part of what makes me who I am and it keeps me sane. I MUST act because it is my truest form of artistic expression, I love telling stories. The stage is heaven on earth for me.
This is who I am, I am a man who loves God. I love my family and friends. I am so grateful that both of my parents stress that they are here for me. I have my father now and I have Jesus and my mother. My mother is my hero, without her I don’t know where I would be. I thank God for what good has come into my life and I also thank God for giving me qualities and skills to affect the world even at the smallest level.
