-Thanks
Erik, I am flattered you accepted to be interviewed
for my webmag, to start this interview off I'd like
to know something about your personal interests.
Some
of my personal interests consist of spending alot of
time working on my career, playing alot basketball to
stay in shape, friends and family. I'm a big beach guy
so I take advantage of this California weather.
-How
did you get into modeling? Did you remember your first
photo shoot? How did you feel about being in front of
the camera?
I
got started in the modeling biz through a friend who
knew an agent and told me they thought I had the look...haha.
My first modeling gig was for a hair salon. I've always
loved the camera and taken pics so I felt pretty comfortable
in front of it.
-When
did you get interested in movies? Have you ever taken
acting classes?
I have always been interested
in movies since I was a little kid, it's been a dream
of mine for quite awhile. I have taken quite a few acting
classes in LA and NYC. Recently doing private coaching
with Howard Fine.
-Tell
me about your acting debut, I guess you were very excited...
My acting debut was in a film called "Mustang Sally".
It was a spoof horror film. I was very excited, it was
a huge rush being on set for the first time with other
actors and the crew. I knew that this biz was for me
and I wanted to take it as far as I can.
-In
"Mustang Sally" you played one of the main characters, were you satisfied
with your performance in that movie? Do you think you've
improved since then?
For "Mustang Sally" being my
first movie role I was satisfied with my performance.
I had a great time doing it, it was blast. But I think
as actors we're our own worst critics and we always
want to believe we can do better. I defenitly think I
have improved since then. I think everyday as actors
we learn something new.
-You starred in one episode of the TV series "CSI:
NY" too didn't you? which character did you play in it? What
was that experience like?
I did do
an episode of CSI: NY, and I played the character Charles
Price. He was a Liberty security guard for statue of
Liberty and was being accused of a murder, but then
was found dead also. It was also great learning experience
and I respected everybody on the set of that show.
-What
kind of movies would you like to star in? And what character
would you most like to play?
I would
love do any type of thriller or a murder mystery. I
have always wanted to play the villain or heavily drug
induced character.
-Can
you share with me some of your current and future projects?
My
most recent film work I just finished is called "American Cowslip", which is an edgy dark comedy in which
I play alongside Val Kilmer. It is my biggest film
role yet and is due to come out in the fall, so be on
the lookout.
-Thanks
again Erik for this interview, my last question: what
was your dream job when your a child? Did you want to
be an actor?
Thank
you also for the interview, but my childhood dream was
not to be an actor. Believe it or not it was to play
basketball in the NBA, I was a very good baller, but
I just decided to take a different path, but I do still
play quite a bit. Thanks again
