The first professional play I ever saw was The Importance Of Being Earnest, and I just fell in love.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I don't want to play earnest. I'd rather play somebody who's kind of sleazy. It's much more fun, especially in a comedy. You don't want to be some earnest guy who's just trying to do the right thing but can't. I want to be doing the wrong thing intentionally.
I started doing regional theater. My first job was 'The Importance of Being Earnest' at Dallas Theater Center.
In grammar school I read 'Act One' by Moss Hart, and being a playwright struck me as the most magical and romantic career anyone could have... But I never did write a play.
Nowadays I'd describe myself as earnest, terribly earnest. I'm the person who wants everybody in the room to feel important and happy.
A play is a passion.
I saw a Shakespeare play when I was - I guess I was in junior high. And I just fell in love with the theater because, for me, it was a combination of big ideas and feeling.
You see so many earnest characters in movies all the time, everyone has a purpose.
Acting was my first love.
Acting was always my first passion.
The first play I saw was a Samuel Beckett play which was great.
