I wanted to be Red Barber, Mel Allen or Howard Cosell. I loved their personalities and all of their sounds.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I wanted to be Stan Laurel, then I wanted to be Fred Astaire and then Captain Kangaroo. I actually started out as a radio announcer when I was 17 and never left the business, so that's literally 70 years.
Even though I wanted to be John Malkovich or Sean Penn when I was a kid, mostly I was a music nerd.
In my next life, I would like to be Charlie Rose or Howard Stern or maybe something in between.
As a kid, I wanted to be a sportscaster. On the radio. I loved the idea of painting a picture. I didn't want to be on TV. I wanted to be Jon Miller, who called all the Orioles games.
I just wanted to be like J.Lo when I started. The last thing I want to be is a model-slash-actress. But I love actress-slash-musicians.
Music was always part of my life - my mother says I came out singing. I wanted to be Gene Kelly - or Judy Garland.
When I was younger I saw a movie called 'Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid' with Paul Newman and Robert Redford. Those two actors and that movie was my inspiration to want to be an actor.
I wanted my voice to be a tenor sax, really.
I wanted to be Dustin Hoffman or Robert De Niro or Al Pacino. I thought I was going to be a dramatic actor, but comedy sort of started out first, and I was like, 'Maybe I'll find some more drama later on in my career.'
I was very keen on people like Elvis, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Gene Vincent.
