It was...and still is, all about the growth....

The shows are over...WOW... :'(

Angels In America is physically over, in the sense I won't be performing it anymore. I watched an interview with Michelle Williams and she said you you move on to other roles, but you always keep tiny parts of characters you have played because you become them. I couldn't agree more especially with Prior Walter, the character I played in Angels In America. I'm moving on to the next character, the next human being to explore, but I know I'll keeping the tiniest part of Prior Walter in me.


I will never forget the first show of Angels In America, SOLD OUT(few people didnt turn up) I was so nervous backstage..I always am, but thinking back I was a F**kin MESS this time. I guess it was because I doubted myself and was thinking bout what people may think, as much as people may deny it I've said it a million times "us actors want to be loved", but I remember getting on stage and just completely becoming someone else and not remember I was doing a play, really until the end at the curtain call...This is SOOOO CHEESY and it may even sound pretentious(I really hope it doesn't), but I felt like I really became Prior Walter. All the things I had done to feel like him, to get closer to this person, had come together...the jogging to loose weight, the pretend catwalking, the visit to Mildmay AIDS hospital, the research of America's 80s culture...had all come together in terms of helping me become this characater.

Then the reaction from people was incredible, phenomenal,beautiful breathtaking...I really won't ever forget how nice the things people said about my performance and the play and the rest of the cast and the director...just the general production, it was all these beautiful comments and reviews in the first performance but also the other two that really reassured me to have faith in my ability and that hard work DOES pay off and that people had seen the growth in me and that was the major thing for me to show anyone who maybe doubted or just anyone that hadn't seen me act that yeah...this kid can do it, he has "something", for people to walk away and be like yeah. I can imagine this kid doing stuff on TV, Film, Stage....
