I started college as an acting major, then went for foreign languages, because I have an innate proficiency with languages. I did some stage modeling for Paul Mitchell and Sebastian International, but never did anything major. After spending some time with Sean Penn, while he was shooting 21 Grams here in Memphis, I decided to look into acting again. I have a language services company (American Language Training Org.), and would be content with just serving a film production crew as an interpreter and local guide, but I'd also be more than willing to audition, should the opportunity arise.
Unique traits: Part Cherokee, I can run or walk in rough terrain barefoot, with very little difficulty. Multilingual, I speak Spanish very well, and French like a well-prepared tourist. My German is barely functional, and I know basic pleasantries in Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Arabic, Marshallese (Marshall Islands, where I lived before Memphis), and a few others.
