"In this day and age, branding yourself on social media is vital to your success. I thought I would better my chances if those responsible for the movie saw the effort, passion and sincerity I put forth as an actor. I didn't just want to leave it in my manager’s hands to just try and land me an audition." I wanted to make a risky but bold statement by public campaigning to the world for this role.
