I grew up doing musical theater.

I was a musical theatre geek in high school and college.

I grew up performing in theatre.

I did a lot of theater growing up, and in college I was in the musical 'Chicago.'

My whole background, my whole life was just lots and lots of theater, a lot of that being musical theater.

While I was growing up all over, in all my different schools, I was always doing theater, auditioning for plays.

I did a lot of theater when I was in high school and college. I also did stand-up in college, so it was always part of what I did.

I made theater very important in the beginning of my career.

I started in high school and regional theater. Anything that came into town, I wanted to be involved in, because I just wanted to learn.

I don't come from an artistic family, so I didn't know what theater was. I was working on Wall Street in the '90s, and I went to see 'Appointment With a High-Wire Lady' at Ensemble Studio Theatre, and it affected me so deeply. It changed everything I thought about the arts. I quit banking and became an actor.
