He continued: 'I travel with this shirt everywhere I go to always remind myself where I came from. Every time I put it on I'm reminded of the grind, working till 3 am in the morning, exhausted and still running lines in my head for the next day.'

'Then driving 100 miles up to LA that morning to audition. Never forget where you came from. Never lose sight of where you are going. I'm so lucky to get to do what I love. Make movies, for you all.'

He went on: 'Thanks to all of my fans, without you it wouldn't be possible. Follow your dreams people!!! Also thanks to my old boss Matt Spencer for hiring me when I was a 21 year old punk. Sending out love to all my old #firehouse crew. #thegrind #hustle #stayhumble.'
