Nessa — I hope it ever remains this natural and joyous.
What a good looking boy with a great smile!
Akelamalu — isn’t he though?
I’ve never heard of him. I’ll have to ask my daughter who keeps up with entertainment stuff better than me.
Kay — I’d never heard of him until I received this assignment, however, a bit of research revealed a driven young man with a winning smile and a good game plan.
Anyone who accepts a role named ‘Pookie’ has guts enough! Bravo!
And everyone’s right; his smile is soooo infectious. You couldn’t help but like him.
Susan – -that’s how I felt.
He has the look and the smile
. Added up with talent and great attitude, I hope he’ll be able to make it far. I’m wishing Josh good luck and all the best on his career.
