An Actor's Actor
Standa's approach is shaped by his admiration for Bryan Cranston, Jon Bernthal and Anne Hathaway — particularly Cranston's belief that time, not money, is the resource most worth protecting; Jon Bernthal's insight into life, and how struggle is part of the journey to success, and Anne Hathaway's emphasis on life, love and "hoping the absolute best for everyone." These are all part of a philosophy Standa applies: invest the time, persevere through struggle, care for others and let opportunity follow.
