Goals and interests

Career goal

I'd like to pursue a career in Acting and stand-up comedy. Two of my idols are Robin Williams and Harrison Ford; Robin Williams has made me want to pursue a career in comedy after watching his performance in the Movie Aladdin. Since then, I've watched almost all his work and stand-up specials and have done stand-up ever since. I've even become an impressionist after all of that doing impressions of cartoon characters, politicians, and celebrities.

Harrison Ford has inspired me to be an actor through his captivating performances. Whether it be an Archaeologist, a space thug, a Doctor trying to solve his wife's murder, or even a cowboy, he brings a sense of believability and makes me connect with his characters. His generosity and charitable acts makes me want to be as kind and giving as he is and why I want to be just like Harrison Ford.
