I wasn't one-hundred percent sure that Jenny Craig was going to be the right program for me, but I wanted to do something. So I sat down with the CEO of Jenny Craig, Patti Larchet.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The reason I went for Jenny Craig is I thought, Maybe I'm not the only one who has stupid reasons for getting fat.
It's a dream realized to partner with Oprah and bring scripted programming to OWN. She has accomplished so much with the network, and I'm excited to work with her to be a part of its continued growth.

My mom was an actress, so I got with her boutique agency back in 2001 and started booking a few commercials. She's like my co-manager.
All this flying around got on my nerves. But then I gave the script to Cathy to get her opinion. When she started to laugh, it was like 'That's it!'. I went to LA and I got the part.
I don't want to be one of those guys that you see who made $4 million, invested $3.5 million, and now you work at Wendy's.

Then he took me off Jeannie and he gave me Millie the Model. That was a big break for me. It wasn't doing to well and somehow when I got on it became quite successful.
I wanted it to be like Amy Grant, but it didn't pan out that way. My label actually went bankrupt, and I was left without a home.
In fact, I'll be taking a lot of Cathy Gale with me. I expect that was why I was chosen for the part.
