Acting Quote by Carson Grant
“When I was eight years old, I played a story game with my younger brother and sister to help them fall asleep. The 'word-story game' was where they would choose a word and I would create a story. Acting and directing are similar to this game, where I am given the words then I fill in the life of the characters.”

![“It was fun yet challenging to play the dual roles. I'm a really nice guy, and the character [of Dubious] is egocentric and hard-edged, so I had to pull out the negative aspects of me to attribute to the role.” quote by Carson Grant](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/713/carson-grant-70713_aspect_it-was-fun-yet-challenging-to-play-the-d_431559.jpg)
