*
As a child, I had the opportunity to attend extracurricular drama classes taught by a professional actor. It was a wonderful, eye-opening experience that inspired me to become a professional actor myself. Now, as the father of two young children, I would be delighted to pass on this kind of experience, along with my knowledge and passion for theatre.
