I never wanted to be an actor as a kid. I wanted to play hockey, like every other kid in Canada. I had a pretty good shot at it until I was 15 and badly injured myself.

I applied a lot of the same principles I used in hockey into my acting. I might have had some naive ambitions of making the NHL, but thank God, playing hockey gave me a good foundation for everything else.

When I initially started acting, all I wanted to do was to be in one movie. That's it. That was my goal.

It was in high school that I first became interested in acting. We put on lots of plays.

I joined an acting class in my junior year in high school. I'd always wanted to try it.

I first wanted to be an actress after seeing a play - not a movie.

I played basketball. I went to school and played basketball and was trying to pursue that as a career path and kind of just fell into acting.

It wasn't until I got into seventh grade, I think, that I realized that doing plays might be a fun thing, and so I auditioned for the school play - and got in, as it turned out.

The first drama thing I really got stuck into was 'A Midsummer Night's Dream.' I played Puck. That's when I said, 'I want to be an actor.'

I went to school to be an actor in Canada and realized I hated auditions once I left, which is a huge problem if you want to get a part.
