Nehassaiu deGannes
What's In A Name?
On first encounter, folks may find my name a little difficult to pronounce, so lets start there:
né-hé-sigh-u is a little song
say to yourself, "I'll never lie to you"
now say Né-hé-sigh-u
and... di-ganz rhymes with "hands"
Lots of great info right here on the Home Page
& See my Actor Page and Resumé links for agent & contact info.
Cheers!
