What people are saying
Not every scene an actor shoots makes it to the final screen, and that’s part and parcel of our journey.
Nevertheless, being considered for a character from our epic and getting the opportunity to be part of a film of this magnitude has been an incredible experience.
The scenes may not have made it to the screen, but the memories and the experience will always remain.
