Well Minor Renovations got picked up last year. I played a kid designer. It was so much fun. It’s actually playing in France now. With DreamWorks TV I did 12 episodes of When Sports Collide with my friend Delilah and we had so much fun on set! The series is now ended but I’m looking forward to my next venture.
