I never had any classes or went to theatre school like a lot of actors, so all of my training has been on stage with different directors. That was a pretty good school room.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I never went to school for directing. I studied theater with a director. I followed plays to see how a director would talk to the actors. I tried to make my own school.
I never had any film training. I went to Northwestern. I studied education and theater. So it was all theater training.
I guess I've been training in the theater for as long as I can remember.
I was trained on stage at NYU in New York City; I did a lot of theatre then.
Every now and then I have to teach directing. The thing about the theatre is that the most important thing you can do as a director is to make sure that everybody is in the same world - you have to create the world and make sure everyone buys into it.
I think theatre helped, only because it was acting experience. I got to work with a lot of directors.
I've had plenty of lessons about film acting and theatre acting.
I was lucky enough to get into drama school in London back in 2005, and I was there for three years, and in those three years, we did a lot of theater. A lot of classical training.
I remember having friends in high school that did the theater department stuff, and I always wanted to try it but never had the guts to. I was the class clown but could never really build up the courage to try it. I took one acting class and really enjoyed it.
When I left drama school, there were dozens of rep theatres you could apply to where you got a good training.
