I grew up in New York, in the Village, and I started going to Stella Adler pretty young. I was 13 or 14 years old. But I was also really shy when I was growing up.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I went to acting school in New York City for two years. I studied with Stella Adler.
I started coming up to New York at age 17. There was a girl I met over the summer somewhere; I was chasing her. I would drive up to D.C., where I had made some friends, which was about four hours away, and we would take the bus up to New York.
I grew up in Chicago, but when I was 12, I came to New York because I was doing an episode of 'Law & Order.'
Believe it or not, I was a pretty shy youngster growing up.
I'm an actor. I was trained by Stella Adler, one of the greatest teachers of the world. I was 19 years old, and she frightened me to death. I was her houseboy for a while.
When I came to New York, I was really awkward. I went to military academy for high school, so I didn't have the socialization that most kids do. When I got here, I was five years behind everybody. Talking to women was weird for me.
When I was young, I was very shy and quiet, because we moved all the time. My dad was in the Navy, so we moved every two years.
I had just arrived in New York from California. I was nineteen years old and excited beyond belief. I was an art student and an acting student and behaved as most young actors did - meaning that there was no such thing as a good actor, 'cause you yourself hadn't shown up yet.
I got to New York when I was eighteen. I was knocking around, trying to be an actor, writer, musician, whatever happened.
I came to New York when I was 21, 22. I couldn't speak English. I knew I wanted to go to fashion school.
