Play Reel

“I was offered to play Simon Z when it was one of the only productions allowed to film during the Covid lockdown. Filming was being postponed because of the delay in obtaining my visa. If it had taken one more day, I would have been recast! That was a close call! I eventually made it and that changed the next few years of my life.”
