A little acting debut in Spin City, with Michael J. Fox, which opened up a whole new door for me.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I got the acting bug really young, when I was around, like, 10. I pretty much just wanted to be Michael J. Fox. He was in 'Teen Wolf' - that was, like, the coolest role, and then he did 'Back to the Future,' and that was the coolest role.
I got into acting to get my foot in the door for film-making.
When I started as an actor, I kind of started with a couple features. I've been waiting for the opening.
We did one pilot for FOX which was about this couple that moves to a town, and we play everyone in the entire town. So it was like a Peter Sellers film.
'Spin City' was a really wonderful time for me. I made friends for life on that show. I made friends with Richard Kind, Michael Boatman, Barry Bostwick, Sandy Chaplin. We're all close. It was a really wonderful time.
I was lucky - the first eight productions I auditioned for, I got cast.
My first film, 'Vanishing on 7th Street,' I really just kinda went in for it. Just gave it my all at the auditions.
I stepped in for Nicole Kidman in 'Dogville' when she left that film.
I was in a play with Julia Roberts and Paul Newman and Tony Randall.
They had an opening. You know, it was one of those deals. I auditioned and got it in '93.
