I started filming the series Finding You. The first five episodes can be found on Amazon Prime. I am happy to report that I won a Best Actor in a Short award at the Vancouver Independent Film Festival, and the whole cast won the Best Ensemble Acting in a Short award for our work in the pilot.

In the Fall, I became SAG Eligible. I also had the opportunity to work on a handful of films that I will share more about when I can.
Update
Just a quick update recapping my work from 2020. As we all know it’s been a crazy year. However, after completing training in how to remain Covid safe while returning to set, I got to work! I starred in a feature film, a handful of shorts, student films and a few commercials! Additionally, I performed virtually in 4 editions of Scott Siegel’s Great American Songbook Series, which you can find on Youtube.
I am also very excited to share that Cocoon was nominated for best student film of the year at Top Shorts Film Festival, and I was nominated for best actor of the year. I have quite a few projects lined up and look forward to filling everyone in as they come closer.

What Sean doesn’t know is that James has a hidden dark past that is about to surface and could potentially out Sean to his friends and family.
