Seeing San Am Fadó and wanting to be the young boy.

Energetic  -  Enthusiastic  -  EXHAUSTED!

What if anything is the best thing that has happened to you since joining Siamsa?
Meeting such wonderful people

What do you do for a pastime?

Sabotage?  There is a high possibility that another cast member may have gotten his/her hands on Liam Antaine's questionnaire after he submitted it for this blog. You can make up your own mind which questions were tampered with!
