We got sometime to sit down with the beautiful Sam Aotaki. You've might have seen her in the movies Asian School Girls and Alpha House. We got to know what she is all about and what upcoming projects she has so check it out
Who
are you?
Yo wuts gucci, I’m Sam Aotaki, and i am an actress, model
and dancer
Where
are you from?
I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California
How
did you get involved in Acting?
Well I started out wanting to model and dance, after I wouldn’t
grow taller than 5'2 people started to suggest I should try acting, after that I
started taking acting classes and fell in love with it so now that's the main
thing I want to do
When
you were a kid what did you see yourself doing?
Honestly I still remember being in kindergarten and being
asked that,
I always answered i wanted to be a profession boxer and/or
muy thai fighter
Who
motivates you?
My mom, she is one of the most independent and motivated,
and driven women i know
She really inspires me, she left home when she was 17 and
just started hustling to get to where she is now, so it
just shows that if she can do it, i can do it
What
are your favorite movies?
Oh man that’s a hard question; I can watch Bronson over
and over again,
Forrest Gump as well, I love The Devil's Double and also
District 9
I don’t know I really like movies that make you feel
something, mostly dramas
As for comedies though, I like stuff like jackass or 21
jump street, just something mindless
but fun
Who
are your favorite actors or actresses?
I think my favorite actor is Tom Hardy; every film he is
in he completely changes himself
so much to the point you don’t even know it's him, same with
Christian Bale, also Daniel Day Luis. I
really respect them
Favorite
food places to eat at?
I’m pretty open to anything, my defaults are Fred 62 and
Home in Los feliz, or anywhere in little Tokyo
What
do you like to do on your free time?
When I have some free time I try and meditate and do some
yoga, get myself grounded again, other than that I try and see my homies since I’m
usually busy, or I just lounge around the house with my dog
What
was your first job?
My first big gig was when I was 18 and I booked a Toyota
commercial that aired during the super bowl, that was pretty dope
Any
upcoming projects?
