His goal, he added, is to &#8220;make a difference and have a positive impact on the world and the community.&#8221;<br \/>\n<P><br \/>\nSource: <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/iamQuddus\/status\/18497990402\">Twitter<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CSI: New York actor Hill Harper (Dr Sheldon Hawkes) discovered his love for acting while&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2908],"tags":[2918],"class_list":["post-10762","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-csi-ny","tag-harper"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":"","thumbnail":"","medium":"","medium_large":"","large":"","1536x1536":"","2048x2048":"","newsphere-slider-full":"","newsphere-featured":"","newsphere-medium":""},"author_info":{"display_name":"Rachel","author_link":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/author\/rachel\/"},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/categories\/csi-ny\/\" rel=\"category tag\">CSI: New York<\/a>","tag_info":"CSI: New York","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10762","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10762"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10762\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10769,"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10762\/revisions\/10769"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10762"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10762"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10762"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
