I think being recognized more is something you have to get used to, whether it’s here or in California or when I’m traveling. It’s more a part of my life. People recognize me from my play or a commercial I’ve done. It’s just a normal part of life now.
Well I started studying to help me with these commercial auditions and I just loved it.

Generally, I like people’s trunk projects, the things they were working on before anyone knew who they were.
