I was the very first athlete in East Germany allowed to go professional.

I played sports in high school and in college.

I was a ballplayer, but only for a limited time. I grew up playing in Wisconsin. It's a very sports-centric part of the country that I grew up in and I played a lot of sports, but baseball first and foremost. I played through high school. I was a middle-infielder.

For as long as I can remember I wanted to be a professional hockey player.

I played sports growing up in high school.

I played baseball in college, and then I went to Russia to study acting and played some pro ball over there.

I played in Europe and it was a great experience, not just because of my team-mates and the coaches we had, but from the fans and the city itself - I played in Gothenburg and I played in Lyon and soccer was everywhere.

I played soccer for 12 years on three different teams at a time.
