"When I was 14, I was working at a fast-food chain. I was 15 and I became a driver and before I had many jobs like I sold fish in the market. Acting was such a blessing for me. That opened up so many opportunities for me and that opened my mind to like the things that I really wanted to do. I remember myself saying that, 'okay, I think I'm in the right place because I didn't go to the college but this is what I want to do.' That motivated me but before that my greatest motivation was just for me to just give my family a better life," he said.
