While at college, I did my first lead on a network TV show, Medic.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I kind of got into TV when I went to visit a show my brother was working on. Soon I got the second lead in a TV show.
I was initially a leading man, but only on television.
I got into medicine at university, then deferred a year to see. Then I started acting and just never went back to university.
I went to UCLA as pre-med. When I was there my freshman year, I auditioned for a play and got it, and I was so passionate. I just loved acting so much that I decided to switch majors and pursue acting.
When I was doing 'Neighbours,' I was aiming to go to university, then go to med school, but I realised I could make a better living from acting.
'Doctor Who' was my first telly job, and before that I did a lot of theatre in education, children's theatre.
I used to be a real doctor. Now I just play one on TV.
I originally started off as a healer before I came to Hollywood.
My very first job was working on a TV show that was a prestigious TV show and well done - was called 'Family.'
It wasn't until I got involved in 'Doctor Who' that I started doing dramas on television.
