Whether that takes the form of large budget studio productions or taking things of a more independent nature to market, we’ve got our eyes set on that path.”
While speaking of he future, he added, “I just wrapped production on an action comedy that hasn’t been announced, but I’m excited for audiences to see me in this role. It was one of the most fulfilling experiences I’ve had. Right now, I’m prepping for Gen V season 2, and there is another potential project for later this year. I like being on the road, if you will.”
