My mom put me in a Pampers commercial on TV.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My mom got me into some commercials, and I basically, I guess, just got out of my shell I was in at the time because I can't remember. I've just been blessed ever since.
When I was about four, people used to walk up to my mom and say I should be in commercials.
Shortly after my dad died, my mom figured that if I could do a few commercials, I'd get a college fund.
My mom had an audition for a commercial when I was about two and a half, and I ran in crying and interrupted her. They thought I was cute so they offered me a commercial role. My mom was skeptical and a bit nervous about the child actor thing, but I was extremely bossy and convinced them I wanted to try it.
I started as a teenager going up on commercials.
I bugged my mom and dad to 'get me inside the television set' when I was about four years old.
My mom was a single mother, raising my sister and me. My mom has an incredible talent for living in the world without traditional structure, and her friend, who was in advertising, put me in a commercial when I was five. It was just to make money.
My most famous commercial was for Fruit Of the Loom underwear. I took a lot of razzing from my classmates.
The very first job I did, a Barbie commercial when I was eight or nine, that was like 'Oh my God.' Because when you're watching things on TV, you think it's like a fantasy. But then to actually do it and then see yourself, it's like 'Oh my God.'
The first job I had was a Pampers commercial. And I used to go with my father whenever he would do a performance. I remember clinging to his legs, saying, 'Please. Take me with you.'
