I've played athletes, soldiers, cops, killers, lovers, preachers, teachers, musicians and clowns. I like variety. Hide

My dad always encouraged us to be creative and put on talent shows for each other. When I was in junior high, some friends of mine appeared in a school play and I was blown away.

People in our society mistakenly believe that they have a personal relationship with people they see in the movies or on stage. Actors have the implicit trust of many people in the public. If they chose, they can use this to obtain unimaginable power. Hide
