I technically went looking for it. I was frustrated with the lack of auditions that were coming up in Edmonton. So I gave Gil (Gilbert Allan) a call to express my frustration and he mentioned Cor Values. He said, if you help me produce it and make it come to life, then you can act in it. What does your Character go through in the film Cor Values? Cormac is a tortured soul. He runs away from his abusive father and broken home to take solace in the city. When he returns home for the first time to report on a freeway, he is greeted by the girlfriend he left behind and some family. Cor is faced with everything he left behind as well as some new challenges as he starts to uncover the sleep towns secrets. What can fans expect when they see the film?! Fans can expect to be gripped right away and curiously predict what is going on. They will feel the ominous town and the undertow pulling at the screen. They will feel the tension as they cheer on the heroines. What is your advice to aspiring actors? My advice to inspiring actors, (laughs) well that is a multilevel answer. Work on your craft. Build your inner monologue, and the story of your character. Make bold choices. Be patient, but never stop grinding and networking. Be humble, but always be grateful of compliments. Always be professional. Acting is a job, just like your part time job. Being late is unacceptable and potentially very expensive. Be prepared, but ensure yourself the work ethic to be flexible. While on set, remember that everyone that works on set may have their own projects they are developing. Be kind, no one wants to deal with a diva who thinks they are bigger than the people that are going to make them look their best. Embrace fear, its a powerful acting tool. Be vulnerable, it too is a powerful acting tool, but more importantly, the relationships you create on set can be the most raw and rewarding relationships that will last your lifetime.
