You star in Lifetime's recently released film "Back to School Mom". "Back to School Mom" is the story of a 40-year-old woman who decides to go back to school to pursue her degree. When she gets there she learns that her son, who she gave up for adoption, is attending the school. You play Noah Riley, the adopted son. What was it about the character of Noah that made you audition for the part?

With "Back to School Mom", I received a straight offer for this role. Honestly, the day I received the offer, I was driving to my musical composer's house for my short "Criminal". My agent calls and instructs me to "read a script and call him back asap." Usually when that happens, it's good news. While my composer was creating an epic score, his musical talents basically served as dramatic backdrop while I was reading the script. I called my agent, told him I liked it and the rest was history.
