I did ballet and gymnastics, and then I started acting when I was eight - just doing amateur theater at a place called Oldham Theatre Workshop in my hometown.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I actually got started in acting when I was in pre-school. I was really into dance and performing, so my mom had me in dance classes, and then I got involved in a local theater company.
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 did some theater as a kid for fun. But it was really by chance that I landed into acting.
It was in high school that I first became interested in acting. We put on lots of plays.
Before I ever acted as an amateur - which I did a great deal at school and at university - I used to go to the theater with my parents in the north of England, where I was born and brought up... Theater of all sorts.
I started taking acting classes when I was twelve.
While I was growing up all over, in all my different schools, I was always doing theater, auditioning for plays.
I did a lot of student acting when I was young.
I started theater when I was three, and I started doing professional acting when I was nine.
I started working on stage as a dancer when I was four; by 14 or 15, I knew I wanted to study the craft of acting.
