I started in a research lab for TV cameras, then I worked at a tape duplication facility. That was the first introduction for me to recorded music and hi-fi. ↗

It is good to be tired and wearied by the futile search after the true good, that we may stretch out our arms to the Redeemer. ↗

I think that's what I really liked about Narc: My character has a real operatic range in a way that older movies used to have. ↗
