When did you decide you wanted to be an actor? What influenced your decision?: I decided I wanted to be an actor when I took my first acting class.

Most embarrassing moment: One time I got in a fight with a friend, who had given me a sweater and a necklace. He was so mad that he kept emailing me telling me he wanted them back. Since those items were a gift I ignored his emails. A couple of weeks later my dad pulled up in the driveway with me and my sister in the car and there was my friend waiting, asking for his stuff. I was wearing them!
