I continue to be grateful and honored that my work is being recognized - goes to show you, if you put yourself out there good things can happen :)

I have returned to the Amazon series "Gravesend," shooting season 3 episodes and I couldn't be happier. It's a great cast and crew and writer/director William DeMeo is wonderful to work with! And everyone's buzzing because Shaq has joined the cast in a principal role! Looking forward to upcoming shoots this fall.

Hope everyone's having a great summer! See ya at the beach!!
