i’ve always been a singer and performer as a kid, acting professionally as an adult is just an extension of what i loved doing as a kid. the starfleet academy role came up as an audition with my agent, i sent in a self tape, and a few weeks later i was cast. it was pretty quick. this role and show is my first venture into star trek, i binged a lot of it after getting cast.

i didn’t expect the role to be so challenging tbh, there was no way for me to know until i did it. i quickly learned that filming sci fi take a LOT of energy. long days, long nights. i was surprised by how challenging the prosthetics process is. i researched a lot, jim carrey during the grinch, doug jones, colin farrell in the penguin, ALL of them have been vocal in interviews about how tough the prosthetics process is and i learned first hand
