The reality is that I'm an actor from the Midwest and I was 40 movies into it before I started 'Entourage'.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
After 'Entourage,' it completely opened up my casting within the industry. People saw me for a lot of roles that I hadn't been seen for before. Older roles. I went out this pilot season for a lot of lawyers and doctors. And cops - which I haven't quite mastered yet; I find that quite difficult.
It wasn't until I'd turned 50 and had been in the business 25 years that I realized I might actually have a career as an actor.
I didn't start acting until I was in college, which was in the 70's.
I've been a professional actor for almost 40 years.
I became an actor when I was 22.
Some of my oldest friends are actors. But that's not the only place my friends come from.
Before 'Entourage,' I couldn't get a sitcom.
I came out of school just at the time regional theater was first expanding. All of a sudden, lots of new companies needed actors.
When I was 18, I joined the Screen Actors Guild, and after college I came to New York.
I was never a part of the Actor's Studio, because two friends of mine started it in 1947 and by that time I'd gone to California.
