A Dream Called Cinema and Theater

1-. How was your childhood? Honestly, really good. I have great parents who did their best to look out for me. I participated in some Christmas plays at the church we attended when I was younger, which may have been my first exposure to acting. But I was always dramatic as a child, and enjoyed playing different characters, even prior to being given a script to work with. 2. - From what age did you decide to be an actor and how did you know you had the skills to go on TV? Although my parents are supportive of my acting now, they did not present acting as a viable job option when I was a child. Many actors don’t get a post-secondary education, and it was important to my parents that I got my university degree, because it opens up so many more options for you in the world. Despite this, I wanted to act. And after taking a professional acting course in grade nine, it only reinforced my desire, and confirmed my ability. I wanted to do this for the rest of my life. But I...

How was your childhood? I had a great childhood! I was and still am a very quiet person. I have always had to try and find ways to get me out of my comfort zone. I did a lot of dancing when I was younger. I went to dance and ballet classes every week and I loved every second of it. It really helped me come out of my shell. From what age did you decide to be an actress and how did you know you had the skills to go on TV and in the movies? I told my parents at a very young age that I loved being on stage and performing. I made sure I was in every school play even though I ended up playing one of the very small roles every time. I just remember sitting in class and not being able to concentrate because I was thinking about whatever play I was in at the time. I remember the day I really began to believe I could actually do this as a career. I was in the middle of rehearsals for the Shakespeare Theatre Festival and the director told us all to gather around because she had someth...

1-. How was your childhood? I was a dreamy, touchy child, growing up in a small Dutch nowhere village. With a vivid imagination, for a long time I enjoyed playing with toy animals, which, as you may imagine, also could talk to each other. I also loved reading, collecting comic books, pop music. And learning languages such as English, French and German. Unfortunately, in my surroundings the level of decency and inspiration was poor. And I did not really connect with my parents. Or my peers. It seemed they all lived in another galaxy. Or possibly I did. Left on my own devices I sort of struggled through my childhood. And schools where quality of education was at an utterly failing standard. But I didn't know any better and floated on. I knew I was a different child, an alien in my family. At 20 I left home.

1.- How was your childhood? Overall, very good. My parents did everything they could to ensure I had plenty of options and career paths for my future while still letting me be a kid. I’ve always been a bit of a nerd, and I won’t hide that I was bullied for it at school – like so many have, but I’ve been very lucky with my family. We’re still close. 2.- From what age did you decide to be an actress and how did you know you had the skills to go on TV and in the movies? I’ve always performed in a variety of disciplines – piano concerts, ballet & dance recitals, ice skating competitions, even Latin debates alongside acting. I had acting specific classes from age 11, and I studied drama through University. It actually took me until my drama degree to realise that I wanted to be an actress on the screen. I’ve always loved film, but I’ve never been particularly loud – which is what a lot of my acting teachers looked for and promoted, so I was often overlooked/underestimated...

1-. How was your childhood?   My childhood growing up was amazing when it came to my loving and supportive Queen (Melissa Stewart) , Pops (Keith Stewart Sr), Singings and family. I am the Youngest of 5 and I remember always being spoiled by everyone in the family, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins and even in Laws. Unfortunately, with that outside in the real world as I got older in Elementary I was Physically , Mentally and Emotional Bullied. I would get talked about the way I act, talked, my ears and made fun of being called a punk because I wouldn’t hit back but just cry. I remember just always being laughed at while tears ran down my face. I always had a heart and giving no matter what so to as why it happened I didn’t know then but now I know it was to build my character and make me strong. I also was Molested at the age of 7 and 11 one by a family friend brother who was 8 years older than me and my friends mom. Going through what I went through created sever Anxiety/Panic...

1.- How was your childhood? Had a nice childhood, I was the middle child having two sisters and a one brother. My mother and step father were very loving and attentive. 2.- From what age did you decide to be an actress and how did you know you had the skills to go on TV and in the movies? Whe I was about six years old I knew I wanted to be on T.V. I loved movies and was fascinated by child actors and would go to my room and pretend I was an actress and I would recreate the scenes from any movie I watched. When I was in the 7th grade I took a drama class and my instructor was impressed by my acting skills and told me to stick with my acting and continue training. I knew at that point I could possibly one day be on T.V. 3.- Did your parents support you in your decision to be an actress? My mother supported my talent and would take me to any casting calls that we would hear about. 4.- What was your first appearance on the screens? My very first time I was in a film I was...

1-. How was your childhood?  From what I can remember it was surrounded by love and support. My parents are very humble and hardworking. I was very energetic and sport mad, just loved football. My parents always taught me to respect others and to always follow my dreams. 2. - From what age did you decide to be an actor and how did you know you had the skills to go on TV?   I think I was about ten years old, taking part in school productions which I loved and then went onto doing acting workshops and joining a drama club. I then fell in love with acting and applied to two drama schools in the UK and successfully won a scholarship, all fees paid for to study acting and pursue a career in the arts as an actor.   3. - Did your parents support you in the decision you made to be an actor? Not at first, but once I got that scholarship to acting school and showed them I was committed and they came to watch some of the stage plays I was in , they we...
