They discussed payments and that is how his life changed for the better.

His biggest breakthrough came in to be one of the saddest days of his life. He had five roles to ace; three commercials and two TV Shows. He called his dad to tell him about the auditions but the dad was driving so he promised to call him back. It was on a Thursday. Two days later, he had neither heard from his father nor from the casting guys. On Sunday, his aunt called him with sad news; his father had passed on.

While still trying to process the unbelievable news, one hour later, the casting director called him, telling him that he had passed all the roles. He got all the 5 jobs on the worst possible day for him. To him, that was God’s miracle and it was like his dad went to God and told him to take care of his son.

After the death of his father, he decided to quit his accounting job and decided to pursue acting as a career. With that, he has been able to act in not only local but also in international drama shows.
