I'm part of that generation that grew up watching TV, and being an actor was all about being on TV or being in films.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I had always wanted to be on TV; my mom told me that when I was little, I told her I wanted to be a 'modeler,' because that's what I called actors on TV.
Growing up, I wasn't sure about acting, but I knew I wanted to be part of the movie industry.
People feel that I became an actor because I am from a film family and that my parents were actors. But actually, the only reason I wanted to become an actor was to get away from studies.
I thought I'd be doing theater, really. That's all I had experience with growing up. I mean, I saw movies and television, but I don't think I really connected at a young age that that was acting, that that was part of the profession.
The truth is, ever since I was little, I've wanted to be an actor more than I ever wanted to be a movie star.
You know, I was a huge fan of comedy and movies and TV growing up, and I was able to memorize and mimic a lot of things, not realizing that that meant I probably wanted to be an actor.
I grew up as normally as any other kid. Between that small TV part I did at five and when I turned professional actor at 18, I stayed away from the limelight, so I was just like any typical kid who went to school.
I got into television, and I'm a television guy, so I've never really had a movie career.
I was always enamored with TV shows and movies. But you didn't grow up in my town and turn into an actor.
I was very vocal about what I wanted to do at a very young age. I wanted to be inside of the television set. I didn't know being on TV was being an actor.
