From the moment I turned 39, 40, I really turned a corner and became a person who really enjoys working out. When I don’t get a chance to, I miss it. I also just recognized that it would give me career longevity if I kept myself in the best shape I could possibly be in. Cress Williams Read Quote

Who I always refer to as my acting mentor when I got into junior college is an acting professor by the name of Tom Blank. He took me under his wing, and he was that strong male figure. He was tough love, but he believed in me, saw everything that I had. Cress Williams Read Quote

Growing up, I didn’t really read a lot of comics; we didn’t really have the money to get them. But I grew up a universal fan of fantasy and sci-fi and watching a lot of TV.
