Q: We recently saw you in the film Pursuit of Freedom. In it, you play the role of Bedros, a character who fights for freedom, making his own decisions, to put it that way. This is a character who is obviously full of goodness and is very human.
How did you prepare for Bedros and what can you tell us about him and your character?

A: Thank you for your feedback on Bedros and Pursuit Of Freedom.
I’d already been in a prior film about human trafficking based on a true story (Selling Isobel aka Apartment 407) and had done extensive research in this arena. So I was far too familiar with the ugly global exploitation and far too common forced labor that exists. And aware of how governments are always one step behind and in some cases don’t care.
