The '80s were about trying to establish myself as an actor with a career. And being a teenager enjoying the fruits of being successful with lots of what I think is appropriate for that age.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I grew up in the '80s. I was a kid, but all my favorite movies came out of that period.
The '80s was a wild decade, and I had some fantastic times. And I did some really fun work.
It's nice to have been around long enough to be a part of people's lives. A lot of people who come to my show are real nostalgic for the '80s.
I was 7 years old when the '80s began and 17 years old when they ended, so it was an incredibly formative decade for me.
People love to talk about how the '70s are the only time they made movies about characters, and adult movies, and complicated people. But in the '80s, they got away with some of those too.
And when I was a kid being an actor was not cool. I'm thirty now and when I was a kid in the 80s that wasn't a cool thing to be.
Being a kid during the '80s, I feel I didn't really get the full experience.
Hollywood embraced me in the late '80s because there was a good project I was in and it was different. Nowadays, it's about corporate mentality, box office, youth.
I can't remember too much about the '80s, to be honest with you... I wish that weren't true, but it is.
When I started in the late nineties, it was all about young Hollywood. There were jobs for all of us if you were 18 to 21, were slightly good looking, or could be funny.
