I can't point to anything that has been more responsible for my career than my training.

I know what it's like to have a dream. I know what it's like to roll the dice and say, 'I'm going to go after this thing,' and nothing turns my stomach quicker than acting teachers or acting schools that look at a bunch of dreamers and say, 'We can help,' when they know full well that they can't.

From Jim Parrack

Second only to a viable approach to acting, the most important thing an actor can find is a creative family. To have a solid core group of people that you take that journey with together is invaluable.

From Jim Parrack

My father is a retired army captain and banking software salesman, and my mother is an English teacher.

From Jim Parrack

Maybe it sounds like I'm splitting hairs here but I don't wanna perform for a living, I wanna live for a living.

From Jim Parrack

I know why people lie to themselves in life, but I'll never understand the appeal of the dishonest theater where the actor doesn't make some earnest attempt to include their own honest humanity in their collaboration with an author. It's so ugly to me that it hurts sometimes to see it happen.

From Jim Parrack

My wife Ciera and I can stand face-to-face in our kitchen and stare into each other's eyes and talk for three hours without noticing that any time has passed. She is the kind of gal I spent a lifetime daydreaming about. She is an actor and a creative companion.

From Jim Parrack

A lot of parts on television are static. Nothing really changes.
