What is Kim Roberts because?
Oh, golly. My because for being an actor is because it's just in me. You know, it's the kind of thing that when I have the opportunity to do the thing that I love to practice my craft, it's like breathing, right? It's a source of air that I can't get anywhere else.
So for me, mentorship is wisdom. Right. Like it's not experience, it's wisdom. It's like, hey, you should do this because it's a lesson learned from me. Right. And I totally see you as being that mentor. And for you, it was probably a little bit harder starting out. Right.
Because I mean, I won't say that I didn't have guidance and wisdom. I did. You know, there was a generation that came before me and they were, you know, knocking down those doors as well. So luckily, I had a couple of mentors who shared their experience with me.
Acting. directing, being involved in the arts has been a thing since you were a kid, right? So when did you realize that that was something you actually wanted to do?
I don't think I did, honestly. I mean, it was something I did because I loved it. I always joined the drama clubs. I always took part in the school plays, whatever was going, right? Because I loved doing it.
