I'm confident in my ability to succeed in movies and television. I work hard to live a life that can be regarded as positive and productive; particularly when it comes to raising the bar for young African Americans. I've seen the devastation of drugs, poverty, and hopelessness in the lives of the people I love most. If I can influence even a handful of young people and encourage them to stay away from drugs, develop an outstanding work ethic, pursue a degree, and follow their dreams then I'm a happy man. Strangers saw promise in me; I hope I can repay their kindness by replicating their selfless act. It forever changed my life. Show less «
