It was a great experience for me - the ups and downs - because I became a man in Philadelphia.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Once I was in the city, I really enjoyed it. Just to experience things. There was so much new stuff.
I had an amazing experience working with great people. I had a great family, a typical family with drama in certain areas, and that's pretty much everywhere in everyone's life.
I had a big part of my life in the theater in Philadelphia. Philadelphia's changed, but I love it.
I grew up in Philadelphia.
I moved to New York when I was 17 and I had no idea what I was doing. I really thought I was going to take that city by storm and it taught me a lot; it was like the school of life. For me, it was like a series of really hilarious experiences in New York with getting jobs and getting fired.
And it was a great experience, you know, to travel the world and compete at a certain level. It teaches you discipline, focus, and certainly keeps you out of trouble.
We go through our careers and things happen to us. Those experiences made me what I am.
When I went to Philadelphia I was 26 years old and really sitting on top of the world. Family life, a professional career, plenty of friends and associates, and a good reputation, a wish list that could be the envy of many.
I got my first job when I moved to Los Angeles. I worked at a coffee shop for five years and it was one of the best experiences I ever had. It was a bunch of actors covering shifts for each other and becoming great friends.
I've had a wonderful experience here at Penn State.
