How lucky are we that we get to do what we do? Truly, in what other profession are people able to live so many lives and touch so many hearts of those who have never they have never gotten to meet? I wake up every day overwhelmed with gratitude to be a working actor. To be awarded this by my fellow artists is the greatest honor of my career.”
