Best advice I ever received on being a working class actor, came from the great Wendell Pierce. ‘Don’t seek to not be defined as a working class actor, rather, change their definition of what it means to be a working class actor.
Brilliant and inspiring

He who kisses the joy as it flies

Best advice I ever received as an actor… strive to have an ordinary life and an extraordinary career.
