My father is a university professor so when the schools needed a little kid for their productions I was often the kid they used. The first time I was ever on stage was about 2nd grade.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I had no inclination to perform as a kid. I was a shy child - I always had my nose in a library book. I didn't start acting until I went to college. Once I started, it seemed to fit like a glove. I felt completely at home on stage. It was the perfect way for me to express myself, even better than writing.
I worked with my parents on the stage in production numbers since I was 4, but I never really gave much thought to being a performer on my own until I was 12 or 13.
I was always a theatrical kid.
If you're small and can speak clearly and you're a cute kid, that's the craft, really. The whole child actor thing can be dangerous sometimes. Other kids were taking piano lessons; I did ballet and acting.
I did a show back when I was in high school - so I was about 17 - and it was the first time I was on stage. I never even thought about being an actor before that, but after that experience, I knew it was what I wanted to do.
I'm most at home on the stage. I was carried onstage for the first time when I was six months old.
I did a lot of student acting when I was young.
I always performed as a kid to make my family laugh and was more concerned with making kids at school laugh than I was about the lessons.
I started on the stage when I was 13 and I consider the stage my home.
My parents have basically just taught me the rules of the stage and everything since I was eight.
