I trained in Toronto with a private acting teacher, who was wonderful, for years growing up.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
After college, I went to Alley Theatre in Houston to work in their apprentice actor program. I thought I was gonna get discovered. It didn't happen. I moved back to Germantown, Tennessee, outside of Memphis, and taught at my old high school.
I had my heart set on becoming an English teacher, but stumbled into acting after meeting a theatrical agent in my dad's restaurant in San Diego.
Yes, I was actually an acting teacher for a while.
I worked in theater my whole life. My mom was a drama teacher at my middle school. In high school, I was Drama Club President every year, and then I auditioned for conservatory acting programs.
I come from a theater background. I studied acting at NYU and also the Groundlings in L.A.
I used to teach acting in a maximum security men's prison. I worked with guys with the most dysfunctional behavior problems. I probably learned more there than from my prestigious theater degree.
I grew up in Vancouver and my father drove me to every single one of my acting lessons, auditions, and jobs.
I loved New York. I made enough money and studied acting with Kenneth McMillan, which was my first formal training.
I'd trained at the University of Washington and had a Bachelor of Fine Arts in acting.
My real training as an actor was when I started doing theatre.
