I never had an official job, but I did play at a local cantina every Tuesday night, and I babysat a lot.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I was involved in school plays, but when I left school I did a couple of odd jobs as a baker's apprentice and then as a fruit market porter in Manchester.
I've honestly been really lucky. My only jobs have been babysitting and acting.
My first paying job might have been doing a play, actually. My mom paid me to dress up as a flounder at my sister's 'Little Mermaid' - themed birthday party when I was little.
My first job was playing 'Nurse 2' in a film by Ben Elton called 'Maybe Baby,' and the first actors I worked with professionally were Hugh Laurie and Joely Richardson. I was totally star-struck. I got that job on my final day of drama school, so it was a nice bridge into the professional world.
I started acting when I got a summer job at the Everyman Theater Company with the Neighborhood Youth Corps.
I've had a job since I was 11. I had a paper route, I worked at a video store, I was a toy doll at FAO Schwartz when I was in high school. And I think that it's made me really disciplined when it came to pursuing acting, because I had no clue how to go about it.
My mom did a great job because ever since I was born, she would put me into any type of sporting activity with hearing teams.
My first career was as a coach and a teacher.
I went into this job to do plays, but that's here for 10 weeks, and the rest of the year I do a lot of other things-the administrative work of planning, reading plays.
I used to babysit a lot, and I used to be a nanny.
