Other acting opportunities had come along, but nothing that was tantalizing enough to me to step away from what I found most interesting.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Acting was something that just came along. But I made good money, so it wasn't something I was just going to put aside and pretend it didn't exist.
I realized later how much my acting experience influenced my writing and how it helped me to write for other actors.
For me, acting was something I fell into.
I wanted to be involved in TV and film in some capacity, so a compromise, because acting seemed unrealistic, and so risky, was to get into the production side. And it was a really fortunate, smart move looking back on it, because it gave me perspective on another side of the business.
What attracted me to acting, from the start, was playing different characters. I'm not a massive fan of just playing myself on screen.
It was only when I realized how actors have the power to move people that I decided to pursue acting as a career.
One of the things I enjoyed the most is just working as an actor.
I come from a huge theater background. The whole action and stunt world just came as the roles were available.
Making a transition to the adult acting industry was pretty smooth for me, and I had a great balance and a great opportunity not to do just children shows.
Acting was the only place that I ever felt like I belonged so went for it with everything I had.
