MC: Are you gravitating toward action-hero roles?
SA: Yes, definitely. That’s something I’m interested in.
I’m not stuck on the action part. I’m open. I want a
variety so I can do action or comedy. My goal is to be
a balanced actor. But I’m getting offers for a couple
action shows, so action is the goal.
MC: You created and starred in a commercial for
1st Phorm and it was funny. Do you like comedy?
SA: People are used to seeing those old “holding
the bottle” poses and stuff like that [in the fitness
industry]. So I tried to do something different. I got a
couple of my actor friends and we made something
completely different. I’m definitely able to make fun of
myself, and I think I’m a funny person. It’s not neces-
sarily a goal, but we were having a lot of fun with it.
MC: So acting is the main goal?
SA: Most definitely. Acting is the goal. Not specific
in terms of what roles. Comedy, drama, action, any
type. I have been getting ready for over the last two
years and finally everything is falling into place. We
are going with it.
MC: Who’s an actor you would like to base your
career off?
SA: I definitely admire Dwayne Johnson’s career. He’s
not so much someone who strictly does action, like
Jason Statham. I feel like Jason Statham does the
same exact movies. Dwayne Johnson jumps from
comedy to action to other stuff. And as he goes on,
as he gets older, the more seasoned and the better
he becomes. I definitely like his career. His variety of
movies I really like.
