There are different reasons and justifications to lie; its human nature.

I am Dominican American. My father was born and raised in the U.S. and his heritage is German and Eastern European, and my mother hails from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.

Performing is my passion. Being onstage is at once exhilarating, beguiling, and fulfilling. But it's hard.

I have a lot of things I want to do. I have a lot of fire. I want to do film. I want to do action movies. I want to do period pieces.
