Victoria G: What inspired you to become an actor?
Jac Carrera: Funny story Spider-Man when I was 3 I was obsessed with the movie my mom had to buy 3 copies because I would scratched them all. I would constantly tell her that I wanted to be on TV. My mom believed in me and started my career path with headshots and submitting me to projects, I remember my first gig was a supporting role in the movie A precious life and after I took a break my mom let me be a kid.
