Then one day, I lost both my job and my apartment - and was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor. It was a triple whammy that forced me to give up acting for several years while I got my life back together. But when I was able to start acting again, I realized that half my soul had been missing for those years.
Since then, I've made several self-affirming bets on myself with my livelihood - essentially…
