I was living in Florida working as a model and got my first acting job there in the movie 'Wild Things.' I thought it was sort of cool and decided to do some training.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've had weird, weird acting jobs. Low-budget filmmaking where you find yourself in really bizarre places.
It was a fun film. I had a great time doing it. I was looking for a role just like that for my first movie role. I didn't want to have a starring role, because I wanted a chance to learn. I didn't want the whole thing riding on me.
My real training as an actor was when I started doing theatre.
I had to get out of the Boston area, so I flipped a coin and said, 'Heads - Miami, tails - California. I was in my mid-20s and came out here with no training. Acting wasn't even in my mind.
From a very young age, I wanted to be an actor, but I lived in a very small town in Florida where there weren't any opportunities for that.
I started off in musical theater, yeah. It was one of my first jobs; it was in Spring Awakening in London, which was amazing.
I started as a model in Mexico - I was traveling, but my base was in Mexico City. And then I studied acting for three years.
I went to Long Beach State, started out as an actor.
It was really weird for me filming in New York, because I was born and raised there. I started acting and modeling when I was five or six, so I worked there.
I started acting when I got a summer job at the Everyman Theater Company with the Neighborhood Youth Corps.
