Grimm kicked it off š . I wanted to be a movie star, so once I graduated college I decided to pursue it in my own way. That āwayā was Parkour. I thought that by gaining a name in that world and by getting into productions through it, I could find a way into movies. Looking back, it wasnāt a half-bad idea! I got an agent through it, and then I doubled down by moving to France to work with @davidbelleofficialpage who was working on films. Through the relationship with David I was āsupposed" to work with him on āThe Familyā with Robert De Niro, and I was āsupposedā to work with him on "Brick Mansions" (@paulwalker's last full film š). But both things fell through, and that path ended. . Then one day in October 2014, I got an audition call from @castironpdx for Grimm. I knew nothing about acting - NOTHING. Nada. Zero. Zip. I donāt even know why I got the audition. And yet, to this day, what I did in that audition room was, in my opinion, still, one of my best auditions ever. Some combination of luck, confidence, and naivety made that happen. Itās a fun story Iāll tell some time. . Anyway, I got that role, and it turned into a small, recurring role on the show. On one of the last days of shooting for me, I approached @mrsasharoiz and asked him for advice on how I could do more of this type of work. He said, āAre you in an acting class?ā I said, āNo,ā and he said, āGet in an acting class.ā . Because of Sasha's advice, I joined @rooney_ted's acting class, and short story long, it didnāt take long before I realized that I authentically looooved acting. And the more I grew to love it, the less I cared about being a movie star. . I donāt care about being a movie star anymore ā at least not in the way many do. I just want to be a great actor, and if that leads to doing big films, great, Iād looooove that! But when I think about āWhat I wantā from acting, Iāve boiled it down to a simple idea: I want to tell great stories with great people. I think if Iām doing that consistently then Iām in the right place. Not even movie stars always get that opportunity. . So far it's trending positively. Weāll see where it goes. . #Acting #Actor #Grimm #StoryTime #DavidBelle #PaulWalker https://www.instagram.com/p/B4oH4Gnh5oB/?igshid=1is5df45fhhqe
