All I know is I was put here to do some thing extraordinary only because I suck at all other things ordinary. I love film! I love movies and tv series that give it to you raw and real. Shameless was actually filmed in the house my father and his friend grew up in on the west side of Chicago and i thought that was amazing!!!! All I need is a shot to do something unforgettable and I’ll make sure you won’t forget me.
