An integrity guided pleasant team player who is dependable, honest, punctual and with a passion for excellence in all roles and at all times.
Celebrated as a household name for my stage, commercials and TV soap opera series in Kenya and humbled by international reviews of my role in the movie "Mountains of The Moon" (See New York Times review). |
