Why am I good for this role?
Though I do not have experience in film, and very little in television, I am a quick study who learns new techniques fast. I do have plenty of theatrical experience, and would absolutely be able to bring a sense of professionalism onto the set. My resume only lists the last 4 years of theatre productions I have worked on, though I could go back 10 years. I do have a fascination for history, which would certainly help getting into the time-traveling part of this role. Overall, I am pleasant to work with, well-trained, and have always been rather interested in trying my hand at film work.
