I was 18 when I got my first acting job.

I did a lot of student acting when I was young.

I started acting when I was in high school, started writing when I got to New York in 1975.

As for acting, I took drama lessons when I was in high school.

And I used to write novels and little stories and compositions and I - but I put them away because I started acting when I was 17. So there wasn't much time.

I started acting professionally at age 19.

I started to act in highschool and became a professional actor at 19.

I was an English major at UCLA when I was 18, and then I left after a year to start acting. I was educating myself during that time.

I consider myself a writer. I always wanted to act, and as a teen, I studied acting devotedly. Eventually, I got writing work, but very little acting work.
