I did well as an actor in Australia, and then Paramount invited me over... to have a look at me.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My working history as an actor is definitely in the theatre; it certainly was in Australia.
I really wanted to go onstage. Not movies. But I ended up under contract to Paramount. Now I adore film work.
I am a lucky regional theater actor who happened to get a good role.
I had the privilege of working with so many great actors over the years.
The beginning of my acting career was in London, England.
I had no intention of being an actor. I was quite good at it. I was pretty capable at other things but never any good at anything.
I'm a very fortunate actor. I'm blessed to be the position I'm in right now.
There were two movies that asked me to go to Australia or New Zealand for long periods of time. One was 'Lord of the Rings' and one was 'The Matrix.' But I was actively involved at that time raising my family, and I couldn't really take that time out.
My agent set up a meeting with George Lucas. They were casting in England.
I met my agent through a casting director here in Wilmington after I auditioned for a Disney movie.
