REPRESENTED BY THE ROBERT BRUCE AGENCY
"Acting for me is the study of the human condition. It is the constant examination and expansion of my mind, body and spirit in this lifetime. By exploring the potentialities of every fragment of existence, I solidify and grow my own concepts of truth around what is and what can be, and that to me is a great and exciting thing."
