My role in XIII: The Series

By admin

Talk about a crazy week. I haven’t had a chance to announce on my blog (in case some of you don’t follow me on my Twitter or Facebook) but I have booked a role on the hit tv show XIII, starring Stuart Townsend and Aisha Tyler. It is a French+Canadian co-production which is on its second season. 
XIII, a television series based of the popular Belgium action-conspiracy-thriller comic by Jean Van Hamme and William Vance. XIII is developed and produced by Prodigy Pictures and Cipango, the television division of Luc Besson’s Europacorp. Gil Grant (NCIS: Los Angeles, 24) wrote the pilot and will serve as the series’ showrunner.

I’ve got a recurring role in this series and I will play the Black Widow, the love interest of Stuart Townsend. This is by far the biggest role and I’m nervous and excited at the same time. I met Stuart the other day in make up and he gave me a hug and two kisses to welcome me aboard. The director and executive producer sat in at my callback and told me that I was their first pick which is very flattering to say the least. My good friend Hubert Tran is also in this show!
My agent is having a field day because my official union (ACTRA) status has virtually made him a busy man. After finishing up work with Cybergeddon last month, we’re already working on a couple more tv shows which hopefully I’ll be able to book in addition to hitting up LA casting houses based on my previous auditions – its really all quite surreal. My acting coach Nahanni was gushing about my role and she has been offering amazing advice since I started working with her so I’m thankful that she can help enable me in some way.
There have been so many no’s before  a yes and it makes every part of the journey worthwhile. I feel really blessed and I’m glad I stuck to my guns about putting my time in Toronto and leaving Asia when I did (I know people still think I was crazy). Anyway, I can’t wait to get on set and this episode is just so juicy I know the fans of the show are going to enjoy it. I watched the first season with my brother-in-law and we really got into it. They said the twists and turns of the second season will really get the audiences.

I felt so grateful to have everyone in my life, especially those who have taken the time to send birthday wishes. The pink candle represents the last year of this decade for me! So it was indeed a special one. My friends know me best when it comes down to being celebrated on my special day! How can one complain when there is an abundance of love being showered over me. Thank you for one of the best birthdays yet! 🥰🥰🥰

The more I try to control the more I am inundated with pressure, when you release and surrender to what is, the easier it is to accept and let go. Anytime I feel an urge to fight or challenge, I look inward and ask myself, what is really going on underneath? When life is going to unfold in the way it’s supposed to be, there’s no use spending your time worrying about the what ifs. You might as well go along for the ride called life because it can bring you to higher places you’ve ever imagined.

    This year has been memorable for many reasons and it has been the year where I have introduced more self-acceptance in my journey. The feeling of lack and the needing to compare has faded into the opportunity to celebrate joy.By the act of surrender and flowing into alignment, the gift of abundance has been more evident than ever. Whatever I do to give comes back ten-fold through friendships, relationships and partnerships. I couldn’t have asked for a better way to close out my birthday and give a treat to those who don’t often feel celebrated. I wanted to share my blessings with them. Thank you @mykyochon for helping me organise, @ngohub.asia for helping me discover @destinywelfare and @nadiahnasirr / @heyjnrjh for being a part of this. More importantly Irene for offering these children a chance for these kids to get a solid education during these formative years. Everyone remembers kindness and it is never a random act. ❤️ ...
