When I graduated college I needed to make money while I was pursuing acting, so I read screenplays and made a living writing coverage on them for studios.

I studied acting in school and then, of course, couldn't get an acting job.

I started off in a small theatre performance company and worked my way into commercials.

And when I have lived elsewhere, every two weeks I have to fly back to LA. Even New York directors go there to audition. So I have to be there to a degree.

I started going to acting school in my senior year in high school, and I remained in acting school through four years of college.

I moved to California not to pursue acting but to get out of Albuquerque.

Growing up I did commercials and things like that, but nothing serious. As I got older, my family is really hardcore into academics. They weren't wanting to necessarily support an acting career; it's a really fickle business, and it can be difficult and unstable. They were rooting for education and the whole nine yards.
