Working with Charles
“You really were our perfect Joe. Your performance was so on point, you beautifully delivered a very complex character arc. We see so many layers within the version of Joe you have brought to the screen. His humanity, his guilt , his arrogance , his fear. Everything is portrayed with such subtlety but translates so effectively!
I am so thrilled that we cast you. You were an absolute pleasure to work with, fantastic to creatively bounce off of , and I am just so glad that you understood the character so deeply. You are a gifted actor.”
Eden Quine-Taylor – Director “Paper Tiger” (March 2025)
