In theater, you have a rehearsal period and you know just who to be.

We film in front of a live audience, and I was a theater actor before I got into television, so I like that.

I liked being on stage; I just didn't like the theatrical aspect of being in front of people.

I came up through the theater. I came out of drama college and started working in the professional theater.

When you left this one theater in Norfolk, the actors had to walk through the lobby to get out to the street. People would see you and say nice things, tell you that you were good. So, pretty soon I'm pretending to forget things backstage, going through the lobby a couple of times.

I began to work the stage and get the audience into it. I also learned how to have fun out there. It is something I will never forget.

I'm not from a theatrical background where people do like to work it out on some stage space.

I was heavily involved in musical theater.

I'll eventually go back to theater because the feeling of being on stage where you have the audience right there, you can't replace that with anything.
