If I could go back to my first year of acting school, I'd probably say: 'Relax. Stop taking yourself so seriously.'
From Seth Numrich
When I was six, someone in my family gave me a yellow pencil holder that had my name printed on it. I still have it, and when I'm doing table work in rehearsal, I use it to carry my highlighters and other writing utensils. I love it.
Math was always hard for me, but my dad would come up with ways of making it fun. I remember playing 'Number Munchers' on our old Mac... That counts as math class, right?
During my childhood, I played just about every sport imaginable, which became less feasible at Juilliard... Although I remember our annual dodge-ball game as a highlight. The Juilliard 'Fighting Penguins' are a force to be reckoned with.
Next to acting, being in the great outdoors is my biggest passion.
A dear friend of mine always brings a pineapple instead of flowers when he comes to a show. I love it.
If you think you're in shape, try boxing. You'll discover that you are not. It's the most physically challenging thing I've ever attempted, but I love it and I want to keep up some of the training.
Boxing is really an art form. It might just look like two people beating each other up, but when you look closer, it's actually quite beautiful and interesting.
When you're home-schooled, you have to have a certain level of work ethic. Otherwise, you don't get anything done.
My weakness as an actor is that I think too much.
