What’s been your greatest realization about the industry?

I have learned a lot over the years about the industry, but my greatest
realization has been that Casting Directors don’t decide who gets the job.
It’s the Network Executives and the Investors. They are the people who know
nothing about acting. It’s not so much about talent. It’s more about their
vision of what they think the character should look like. Crazy huh?

What’s been your craziest day on a set and why?

The craziest days I’ve ever had on set were the ones filming DARK RISING.

We filmed all night long and slept all day. It was September, and though all
the actors were wearing summer clothing and bathing suits, the temperature
at night was a cold minus 5 degrees. Brrrrr!

Tell us about your experience on American Pie: Beta House.

I was very fortunate to have been apart of the American Pie phenomenon.
Before being cast in a role, I worked that summer as a reader for the
American Pie auditions. I developed a friendship with the director and
producers of the film, and that’s when they had offered me a role in the
movie. Working on such a classic comedy serial was pretty incredible.

Tell us about your experience on Dark Rising.

I remember the day I auditioned for Dark Rising and I have to say that I

this Dark Rising family as well.
