Q: Why is it important for this story to be told today?

A: “Wit is an important story because it reminds us to live each day to the fullest and to look for the humanity in every person we meet.”

Q: How does your character fit into the end of Vivian's life journey? 

A: “As part of the ensemble, I play various lab technicians, clinical fellows, and students Vivian encountered throughout her cancer treatment and her career as a professor. I like to think of my characters as some of the nameless faces who stand out in Vivian's mind; the people who made an impact on Vivian (for better or worse) even if they only knew her for a passing moment.”

Q: What is the overall heart of this story?

A: “I think the overall heart of Wit is to always look for the humanity in others, no matter the situation.”

Q: What do you hope the audience takes away from this experience?

A: “Live and love life to the fullest.”
