I come from a huge theater background. The whole action and stunt world just came as the roles were available.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Acting was a way of me finding myself, which I think is the case of a lot of actors, regardless of where they come from.
I was made for action movies.
My whole background, my whole life was just lots and lots of theater, a lot of that being musical theater.
And I had a lot to play, which is what you want as an actor.
My introduction to acting was through theatre, so I actually saw a couple of Broadway shows that made me want to be an actor.
My family took a vacation to Universal Studios when I was really young. Me and my brother Richard - who's also an actor - were both really intrigued by seeing the behind-the-scenes stuff of how films are made. We kind of begged our parents to get into acting.
Other acting opportunities had come along, but nothing that was tantalizing enough to me to step away from what I found most interesting.
We had a great dramatic society in school, and that's where I first got exposure both as an actor and director.
Acting goes back a little ways for me. I supposed I started with theater growing up. It was mainly a social outlet and it was just kind of something I did for fun. I met a lot of good friends through it, so it really kept me involved.
I did some theater as a kid for fun. But it was really by chance that I landed into acting.
