I've been working in boutique hotels my whole life.

I had five years in the business in Canada, and then I came down to the States in February of 2010. I had a good pilot season. I started getting guest star work. I started to get bigger stuff.

I had the option of building a career in the U.S. Many of my friends who went at the time did not come back, but for me, building the family business and being with family was worth it. I became a general manager within four months, as I used my education to improve productivity and output.

If I was a businessman, I could have made a huge amount of money. But none of that really crossed my mind while I was young and traveling.

I spent 26 years in the business without ever knowing what I was doing a month from now.

When it all got taken away, I was becoming a young man. So I had to sacrifice to leave my family... Sleeping in my car, getting an apartment for a month and getting evicted the next month. Staying in the $25, $50 hotels.

I just spent three years on 'The Office.' I made enough money that I can take five weeks out and do a play.

Being in this business for as long as I've been in it, it's sort of like living in a town or a city before the war and then after the war and then during the reconstruction and then during the time that it sprawls out to the malls.

I've spent the better part of the last twenty-five years doing a lot of traveling.
