Where do you live, what do you do?
I live in between New York and Venice Beach, I’m and actor and I make photos and films.

What excites you about the city you live in?
In New York the constant stimulation; In Venice the lack of stimulation.

What makes you happy?
Being on the road, helping people, traveling anywhere I’ve never been, cooking for someone, my animal buddy, dancing, waterparks, tacos, getting a roll of film back, getting letters in the mail, sending letters in the mail, coconuts, sweatpants.

What do you care about?
Doing my part in making this world a slightly more tolerable place for as many people as possible.

Tell us about your recent film project. What are the worst/best parts of directing vs. acting?
Best part about acting is getting to explore pieces of yourself you wouldn’t dare dig into without the excuse of a character and script. Worst part is probably all the time spent sitting in a trailer waiting to actually work. Best part about directing is having 110% of your brain working 24/7. Worst part is that it’s on you if the film is shit!

Who do you think is changing the game?
Elon Musk and whomever invented those period-proof panties of course.

What’s one small thing we can do to help others?
Throw a fun dinner party, ask everyone coming to bring something warm (an old coat, hat, scarf, gloves, socks) then donate that collection of goods to your local homeless shelter.

What do you want to do next?
Make more short films. Put out a book of all my favorite letters I’ve ever written. Travel to Croatia.
