Growing up in Lincoln instilled a lot of great values that I still have today like “Do unto others as I’d like done to me.” To this day, I still live by that golden rule. Mom and Dad did a great job raising six kids. The way we were raised help me realize what kind of person I really wanted to be. I’ve met 1 percent of the wealthiest to the poorest of people, and I still thank God every day for what I have and the ability to comprehend right from wrong.
I heard many, many times, “Get an education.” I still hear it, and I still preach it. It is so true. Get your education, learn how to read, and learn how to comprehend what you read. It’s that simple. Then you can set out on your own direction. The sky’s the limit. I didn’t do much of that goal setting, wondering, “What if?” I didn’t think I’d be alive long enough to need any education, but then guess what, I’m still alive. Now I wish I had learned. So when this career came up of acting, writing, playing characters, and learning about characters and backstories, wow, did I have a lot to learn! But I learned. And to this day, I continue to learn. I learn from on-the-job training. For example, I was working with a director and writer, and I had to learn writing from trial and error, and it worked. I wrote a Western.
Write about what you know. A Hot Bath an’ a Stiff Drink is based on two twin brothers. The King & Nye (what if Elvis were still alive today? I’m a huge Elvis fan) is a comedy full of car chase scenes and real events. Elvis was a prankster and one funny guy, and he could sing. No one even comes close to the Elvis. Then The Blue Crayon, this one hits home. I know a lot of families with special-needs children, and the research of dolphin therapy by the dolphins versus pills made me sick. And of course, I had to put some twists and turns in it about biblical and government theories and also a few aliens here and there. Most of all, these are all documented events, true events. The Blue Crayon really wakes you up as to what the hell we are doing and what we are thinking of. It doesn’t take a brain surgeon to figure out what drives this country—greed and the love of money. Trust me, you are going to love little Gabby Damon. She will win your heart over, and it will make an impact in your life: what she represents, how she handles it, and how kids with special needs will win your hearts over. It’s a great story, and yes, it’s based on actual events.
And that’s it. I’m still loving what I do. Thank you very much for your time. TVL.view less
