best interview yet! She's so humble and has the healthy mindset an actor should have 🙂 it took me 3 years at a community college to find my footing. She recieved those roles and rightfully so because of her temperment
Mr. Seymour I really appreciate you doing this. I'm just starting out in this business so I don't have the bad habits or way of thinking that some actor's have . Just be ... me at each audition because it's what I do everyday. Thanks in Advance
