Playing the role of a drug addict in a short film titled "The Newcomer", was a very important and timely project for me as it reflected the growing trend of prescription drug abuse in the U.S. It was also very personal as this struggle exists in my family.

Another project which I'm extremely proud to have been a part of was not a film but an Off-Broadway play titled "Reflections of a Heart". Based on a true story, it dealt with racism, hatred and violence towards African American soldiers returning home to the deep south from Europe after WWII. This was another timely project as it reflected the growing trend of racism in the U.S.
