I took up drama and did so much extracurricular work, like the National Youth Theatre and Guildhall's Saturday school. Acting is where I felt most comfortable and how I wanted to express myself.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Acting goes back a little ways for me. I supposed I started with theater growing up. It was mainly a social outlet and it was just kind of something I did for fun. I met a lot of good friends through it, so it really kept me involved.
I did a lot of acting at school and university, then I went to drama school. It was quite a normal route.
I had always done theater in extracurricular ways. I'd never been a drama major.
I did some theater as a kid for fun. But it was really by chance that I landed into acting.
Acting was always something I loved doing, but I didn't know that I would pursue it professionally. I really loved doing plays at school, but I was in a rock band and ended up going to a school for music.
But then I got a job selling coffee at the York Theatre, and when I met theatre people, something clicked. I felt comfortable with them; I felt like myself. I decided to go to drama school based just on that feeling. I had never done any acting.
It was in high school that I first became interested in acting. We put on lots of plays.
I started acting because I enjoyed school plays.
As for acting, I took drama lessons when I was in high school.
The reason I got into acting was not to explore myself. I was a reader, I didn't care about acting. I got into it in college, but I had no interest really in that, in getting up in front of anybody.
