"Trust The Process"
I was asked by stunt coordinator Jeff Dashnaw if I would be interested in being in a scene where I would be fighting Mark Wahlberg. I said yes without hesitation. I believe by me showing up to set every time I was needed lead me to such a great opportunity. I became a big & tall model for Wilhelmina Models by going to an open casting call in NYC. I remember before I left home on my way to the open call I said to my mother "I have to spend money I don't have to earn money I will have. I drove down there with $40 dollars and half a tank of gas. I'm happy I took a chance because it all worked out. - Canvas Rebel Interview
"I have had hundreds of film auditions that I didn't earn the part, but I refused to be discouraged. I secretly enjoy it when I don't earn a part that I auditioned for because I know that for every 'no' I receive I am closer to a 'yes'. That mentality has done wonders for me. You can't give up and quit. As long as you have undiminished enthusiasm you will make it. If you quit however, it will last forever. Don't quit. Your future self will thank you." - Canvas Rebel Interview
