I have no affectation when I speak

I'd played dumbasses a lot. On Mad About You, I played a very dumb waitress and they saw me.

I was very young when I was in RNBDJ and that journey had enabled me as an actor. I am not very confident of my growth as an actor but I am very confident of my growth as a person.
