First acting gig was playing a victim in 'America's Most Wanted.' The night the show aired, they caught the killer!
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I played a killer twice. Once on 'Matlock,' on Andy Griffith's show, I got to play the killer.
People were confused by me, and at first I was auditioning a lot for the crazy characters or the victim, someone who'd been attacked. Which is great, because usually those are the best acting roles.
Television audiences are ruthless - look what happened to 'The Killing.'
'Murder in the First' takes 12 episodes to explore the crime and the issues surrounding it, all in the hopes of answering the question, 'How did we get to this point?'
On 'CSI: NY,' the audience knew I was a really good guy, and I caught the bad guy.
Did Anthony Hopkins really have to be a serial killer to be in 'Silence of the Lambs?,' I don't think so, no. It's called acting, people.
Most of the time, actors respond to the thing that's so far from who they are. We all want to play the serial killer and the ex-con.
The day after I got an agent, I got called in for a role in a TV movie called 'Legion Of Fire: Killer Ants.'
'Hey Dude' was shot in Arizona, and that took me to the West Coast. We did 65 episodes. It was not a show that a ton of people saw, so it was like doing acting classes and getting paid for it. At that point I had the acting bug. So I went to L.A. to give it a try and never left.
I did this TV show, which was my first job ever. It wasn't a real acting part. It was like this promo for this sitcom and the main actress was meeting three different real people and then she was going to decide who was going to be on the episode.
