I was cast in a film toward the end of high school. Even then, I wasn't sure.

I'd been an actor in high school, and when I got to college, it was all about film.

A lot of student directors used to pick other students to be in their graduate films, so. I ended up doing a couple of them just for fun. Eventually, I got an agent through a friend and I did some commercials; then I got Knots Landing.

I did my first film when I was in the final year of my graduation. At that time, I was still a kid, and I couldn't read the industry very well.

I built my entire career off of teen comedies. I was in 'Bring It On'.

How my film career happened, I don't know. It was unplanned. I'd been in films and TV throughout the Sixties and early Seventies, but it was really 'The Naked Civil Servant' in 1975 that put me on the radar.

I worked on a film short with Frank Sinatra when I was a kid.

I was a director and dialogue and acting coach.

I'm not a film-school guy. I was a high-school dropout. I was on a nuclear submarine. I was an electrician. I was a house painter.
