1. How did you get started in the industry?

It’s kind of hard to say how I started. I always wanted to act for as long as I can remember. Professionally I started acting when I was 10. One day I told my mom that if she didn’t let me try it, I would resent her for the rest of my life, she agreed to support me and I’ve been acting ever since.

 

2. What was your first job?

Monsters Inside me, I played Young Francisco in an episode.

Do you remember being on set for the first time?

Yes, It was so fun that it made me want to act forever.

 

3. What was your favorite part of shooting for Sin Dolor?

Probably all of the make up and being in Puerto Rico

 

4. Do you have a favorite memory from shooting for College Humor?

It would have to be playing “Mikey No Arms” Because he is this great basketball player with no arms.

 

5. What was the best part of filming Tower Heist?

Meeting Ben Stiller, because he is a pretty cool dude

 

6. Which role that you’ve played has been the most challenging?

I would have to say playing a Nerd a few times on the Cartoon Network TV show, Team Toon, because I am the complete opposite of a nerd so it was really fun to be someone else.

 

7. Who have been some of your favorite people to work with in the industry?

I would have to say Russel Brand because he is very funny, I spent the whole time on set laughing especially between takes because he is non stop crazy, Joe Greco because he is probably one of the nicest directors I have ever met and Christian Bale because just meeting and being on set with Batman is way cool!

 

8. What has been your favorite job so far?

Playing Damaso in Sin Dolor because he is a very dramatic character and I love drama and intense scenes.

 

9. How did you get inspired to begin Kids Adopt A Shelter?

My dog Moose passed away, in his short 7 year life I thought in his memory I could help other not so lucky animals by collecting donations for shelters, on my way home from delivering to Little Shelter, I said to my Mom “Now that Little Shelter is done, wouldn’t it be nice if all kids could adopt a shelter and help more animals” thus Kids Adopt A Shelter was born.

 

10. What can everyone do in their own community to help?

They can spread the word, Adopt a shelter, donate, collect items for their local shelters and volunteer and Like Kids Adopt A Shelter on Facebook .

 

Is there anything else you would like to add?

“Always be kind to others and remember the little people”
