LA Libertad: What is your occupation?
JD: I am an actor, writer, and musician.
LA Libertad: In which city and State do you live?
JD: I currently reside in the always sunny and never quiet city of Los Angeles, California.
LA Libertad: What do you love most about your work?
JD: I love the fact that I get to use multiple outlets to express myself - not only as an actor, but as a writer and musician.
LA Libertad: Do you have any other talents or hobbies?
JD: I like to keep busy all the time. As a kid I grew up playing sports, so I like to occasionally go out and play some basketball with friends.
LA Libertad: What inspires you?
JD: My mentor Gerry Cullity, who passed away roughly nine years ago, taught me how to be a performer and artist. He owned a theatre in Arizona called Desert Stages, and I was lucky enough to have him as a mentor for five years. To this day he's still the most talented man I've met in the business.

LA Libertad: What is the hardest part of your job?
JD: I don't like to think of it as a job because I'm getting to do what I love. I think the key is to continue working on your craft; we never stop learning.
LA Libertad: Do you speak any other languages?
JD: Besides English, my best friend and I came up with our own language when we were younger. We never did give it a name, though.
LA Libertad: Where have you traveled?
JD: I've traveled all over the U.S., and have been to Mexico. I do have a passport and plan on using it very soon.
LA Libertad: What are your goals for your career?
JD: I want to be able to have longevity in this business. A lot of people want to be famous or rich, I just want to do what I love for the rest of my time on Earth.
LA Libertad: Any upcoming projects?
JD: I am currently working on multiple projects; I am playing Count Oliver in "Natural Born Filmmakers," writing three films for Empire Films: Alex Grant, How To Destroy Angels, and Night to Night.
