TA’J Taking the Right Foot Forward Who and/or what inspired you to pursue an acting career? I started acting at the age of eight years old. I took acting classes to see if I would like it and I enjoyed it. I said I can do this and went for it. I thought it would be really cool to see myself on tv one day. I really got into it and was inspired when my family saw the potential I had to succeed in this industry. My acting coach would always say to my mom after class, this guy is going to be something.

Now, I see going forward four years later GOD continues to bless my career every year to a different and higher level. I have been able to see myself on many tv shows, commercials, documentaries and movies and I know that is because my mother did not allow us to turn down anything but our collars. God has truly blessed me within a short period of time the opportunity to work on some amazing projects and with amazing productions, cast and crew members. I love the path GOD is leading my career to. No limits.
Do you have a favorite aspect of the various disciplines of acting? If so, what is that and why? My favorite aspect of the various disciplines of acting is preparing to become the character for the role you are betraying because it helps me to have to come out of my comfort zone sometimes which helps to build me for new roles. Another favorite aspect for me is improving because it allows me to speak freely whatever comes to mind but at the same time it needs to flow and make sense with the storyline you are trying to display which helps to keep your brain sharp and on your toes. You have already played many roles throughout your acting career, which one(s) were the most fun for you and why? I would say the most fun role was the Sammy’s fish box commercial because everybody there was so nice, the set was super organized, the food at Sammy’s was delicious and it was a Christmas commercial which is one of my favorite holidays.
