I grew up seeing a lot of theatre, and it was theatre that really seduced me into acting - not film or television.

I'm always surprised when some director says, 'When I saw this film, that changed my life.' I don't have that.

I don't come from an artistic family, so I didn't know what theater was. I was working on Wall Street in the '90s, and I went to see 'Appointment With a High-Wire Lady' at Ensemble Studio Theatre, and it affected me so deeply. It changed everything I thought about the arts. I quit banking and became an actor.

It was always theater for me. But part of that came out of the fact that I was always acting out as a kid. I was the kid who didn't play well with others.

I was just blown away by everything my dad was doing, every play. It was amazing to be able to go as a young person to the theater and see these visuals and how creative it could be. More than anything it was realizing you could do that as a life path.

I did theatre all my life and then went into the film world. I then kind of segued into TV land, which is a different experience.

I got into theater at an early age.

All I've done is live my life in the theater and loved it.

When I was in school, and even after, I did a lot of classic plays, and I guess it sort of extended into film.
