I was asked to send a selftape audition for an untitled film then after a couple rounds of auditions, I was invited to a final zoom call meeting with the team behind JC Reborn the director (Timo) & fx team and this is when they told me it was for the role of “The Creeper“ I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. Then a week or so later my agent called me and gave me the fantastic news that I won the part.
