Growing up without my parents by my side is a weight I still carry today.

I think despite what we've seen on TV, people like seeing women and knowing about women's stories and their struggles and their truth. I think we've seen it in a lot of these shows - when there's a cast of all women, it does very well.

When I've been asked in the past about my dream role, I always expressed how much I'd like to be a superhero.

Once I started advancing in my career, I stopped wanting to hide from my reality.

But now, being a parent, I go home and see my son and I forget about any mistake I ever made or the reason I'm upset. I get home and my son is smiling or he comes running to me. It has just made me grow as an individual and grow as a man.
