I started playing in New York when I was 16. I had a fake ID so I could play shows, and, I don't know, bouncers didn't really say no to me, I guess. I'm fun!
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I grew up in Iowa, and the improv comedy club Comedy-Sportz across the river in Illinois held auditions. They took me even though I was only 16 - you really had to be 18, but they never checked me for ID.
My parents were really, really cool about supporting what I wanted to do at a really young age. I think I was about 10 when I caught the bug. They would drive me down to New York if there were auditions. When I was 12, I did this show on Broadway called 'High Society,' so we moved to New York for the run of that.
When I was 13, I looked like I could play 16, and I wasn't mature enough to play 16.
I got to New York when I was eighteen. I was knocking around, trying to be an actor, writer, musician, whatever happened.
I've been playing since I was eight years old.
I played American Legion ball starting when I was 14. But I didn't catch until I was 17. I was 75-3 as a high school pitcher, but it was like everybody knew that I was supposed to be a catcher. When the scouts would come around, and I was pitching, they'd make me take infield practice so the scouts could watch me throw.
I was a bouncer for ten years in New York City.
When I was 13 I had a fake Id that said that I was 19. I was getting in all the clubs.
They said I couldn't play anything but an English boy. I knew I could. So I went to New York.
I moved to New York to do a play when I was 18.
