In May 2010, Roland moved to Los Angeles, CA to dedicate his time and energy to his acting career. He studied at the Ivana Chubbuck Acting Studio and has been building momentum ever since. While starring in commercials, plays, as well as supporting roles in Student Films, Roland decided it was best to go back to school for acting and acquire a solid foundation in Theatre.
