It's no wonder I am an actor - I was influenced by the best. My greatest mentor and supporter is Sean-Adrian. Sean-Adrian was just a little older than I was when I met him. He had a job working in malls across America in the early 80s wearing furry costumes suggested from famous literature. He was for a time, the man inside Paddington Bear. I wanted more than anything to have a career in the arts, like Sean-Adrian. I met him at a TV sitcom cattle-call in Hollywood. We were next to each other in line to read with an agent. I read terribly...so untrained, so raw... But Sean-Adrian...not only was he an accomplished actor he could roller skate while inside a costumed fairy character. He summons tears with ease. He can ribbon dance (something I've never even tried). He followed his dream, opening a studio for roller skating professionals...he calls it SASS (Sean-Adrian's Skate Studio). From Paddington Bear to skate studio owner... I'm sorry, I just have to say it...right here on blogger for the two people that follow me...maybe they'll help me spread the word...the man, is an artist...hands down. More to come...
