I did a film very quickly, and then a lot of work for television, and then I did stage work.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I wanted to be a stage actor but I got stuck on television. It took a couple of years to get used to.
I really wanted to go onstage. Not movies. But I ended up under contract to Paramount. Now I adore film work.
I've done approximately 15 films, and most of the things I've done have either been stunt or costume work.
I did some theater as a kid for fun. But it was really by chance that I landed into acting.
Fifteen years before I became a screen actor, I was in the theatre. A lot of my work was comedy, which I loved doing. It's harder.
The goal is to divide my time between stage and film.
I did some theatre. I had some smaller roles in a couple TV shows and films. I used to think I did a lot of acting, but my 'career' started when I started 'Homeland'.
I started doing comedy because that was the only stage that I could find. It was the pure idea of being on stage. That was the only thing that interested me, along with learning the craft and working, and just being in productions with people.
I've done a lot of TV, but not film.
My background is a small town with no movie theater. So... I always pictured myself onstage. I went to acting school and learned all the skills. I left early because I did my first movie and discovered that I really loved the minimalistic work with the camera.
