Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've been working steadily as an actor since around 1998. I wasn't well known in the public, but I was a dependable working journeyman.
I've been a professional actor for almost 40 years.
Well, I was sort of a jack-of-all-trades in show business for a long time. I was a singer and a dancer and then I got a job as an actor.
I'm still an actor who wants to work all the time.
My dad's a lighting director. Growing up in Hollywood, I was around the entertainment industry all the time. I knew I'd end up in show business in some capacity, eventually.
I came into the industry as an actor. And moved on to become a star with the help of my dancing skills.
I eventually became an actor, starting with doing stand-up comedy in New York and then theater wherever they would let me. Finally, I moved out here to Los Angeles and got on a show.
It wasn't until I'd turned 50 and had been in the business 25 years that I realized I might actually have a career as an actor.
I've been working as an actor since I was 9 years old.
My first job was in pantomime; I was a chorus girl in 'Dick Whittington' at 16. I got the part by ringing the director daily to see if anyone had dropped out, and it paid off eventually, when I was cast as a rat!
