I went to Howard University and majored in Film Production and minored in Acting. I turned down an opportunity to go pro in Track & Field to do this - I took a chance with this.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I wanted to do a degree in something I was interested in before going into acting.
I went to film school at Columbia and did that for a couple years, and really thought I was going to be a filmmaker, and then I kind of drifted over to the acting side after that.
I studied theater in college, and I really wanted to be an actress and play a lot of different roles. Then I made landing on a television comedy my main focus.
I was a film student. I became an actor, but I thought I'd be pursuing filmmaking originally.
When I started in films, it never really occurred to me that I could make a career out of acting.
I studied acting in school and then, of course, couldn't get an acting job.
I did a lot of acting at school and university, then I went to drama school. It was quite a normal route.
I didn't pursue acting as a career until I got my first job. I didn't think I could make a living at it. You hear such horror stories about how hard it is to get work as an actor. It is hard, but I decided to roll with it.
Most of all, I really wanted to become a filmmaker, and I've used every acting experience to just turn it into film school.
