He was cast as an EITC British Soldier as well as a member of Cpt Jack Sparrows Black Pearl Pirate crew. "Although it wasn't a speaking part it was still an unbelievable opportunity to work with some of the best talent in the industry today."
"Thank you everyone for all of your constant love and support throughout all of my adventures. Especially to my parents, brother, sister, and my closest friends. I can't wait to see what happens next."
