What we know

Advice to aspiring young actors that Kyle returns to often: “Forget about acting. Whatever you do as an actor is cumulative. Go to art galleries, listen to music… So that when a quality piece of writing is put in front of you your imagination, which you’ve nurtured, has something to bounce off of.” Not a rejection of the outcome (acting) — an emphasis on the experiences that shape who you are when you arrive at it.
