In the movie, Tommy and his family go on a big adventure, what do you consider to be your biggest adventure so far?
“My biggest adventure so far it would be working in this industry. There is so much to learn and every new project is a great opportunity to meet new actors and crew and understand more about the whole process. I feel very fortunate to be a part of it.”

You also have a short film coming out in 2018 called, Mount Liptak, tell us a little about that film and your character?
“My character is Lester Liptack and the film Mount Liptak, explores the journey leading up to Lester’s under age enlistment in World War II. A fabulous story and I’m really excited that it is being told.”

The film will be premiering at a number of film festivals next year, do you plan to attend any of them?
“I sure hope so. It was just announced last week that we are a finalist in the short film drama category for the LA independent film festival next year! It is an exciting time!”

If so, what are you most looking forward to?
“I’m looking forward to celebrating the work that we did on the film. The cast and crew were amazing and it was a new experience for me as the role was very dramatic. It will be nice to be surrounded by fellow actors who appreciate each other’s work.”

The Holiday season is here, what are you most looking forward to this holiday season?
“My family and I are heading to Canada for a few days and I will get to snowboard for the first time. So I am excited to give it a try!”
