I'm always a people watcher. They always had us do that at the University of Connecticut where I went for my training. I got my B.F.A. in Acting there.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Since I graduated college, all I have ever done for a living was acting.
I've always been a people-watcher, and as an actor, later, I just mined all those little details.
I love working with actors, and it's all been based on my being trained in the theater.
I did a lot of student acting when I was young.
I'm not someone who went to acting school - I was just out of the gate, doing it.
I was always such a people-watcher. I would sit on street corners alone and watch people and make up stories about them in my head. Then, all of a sudden, I was the one being watched.
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 started acting at the University of Michigan in my sophomore year.
I come from a theater background. I studied acting at NYU and also the Groundlings in L.A.
I went to L.A. and got an acting coach for one day. Then I went in to audition and I smashed it. You have to take risks, and one thing I know about people: your presence is everything.
