I was 18 when I got my first acting job.
I first started working in film when I was 17. I was a director's assistant, an editor.
My first real acting job was 'Skins' at eighteen years old, and I just kind of grew into myself in those two years; I would have done terribly if I'd have got that job at sixteen.
I got started as an actor when I was 12.
I was 35 years old and in a position to take a shot at whatever I wanted to try. The Air Force said I was too old to fly fighter jets. I thought about becoming a fishing boat captain, before deciding that acting seemed pretty cool.
My first paying job, when I was 15, I was a day camp counselor.
Actually, I wanted to be an actor when I was two years old.
I was put in the Air Corps. I was never educated to serve in the military, but soon my activities in the American Air Corps became very interesting to me.
I was an English major at UCLA when I was 18, and then I left after a year to start acting. I was educating myself during that time.
