Behind the Camera with Actor

CD: I majored in theatre in college and knew that entertainment would be my future. I graduated and moved to Los Angeles two months later. 44 AU: What has been your biggest role to date?
CD: I played the role of "Worthington" on the series Pump. It was a recurring character on a show about the crazy shenanigans that go on at a local gym. AU: Tell me more about that particular production and where it was shot? CD: Pump was shot on location at a gym in the San Fernando Valley. It was still open to the public, so production had to balance shooting with meeting the needs of actual gym members. The production was amazing and one of the more memorable experiences of my career. AU: What inspires you to keep going in an extremely competitive business?
