I grew up playing sports, football, basketball, baseball, everything, and acting was such a different environment and different world for me.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I played basketball. I went to school and played basketball and was trying to pursue that as a career path and kind of just fell into acting.
I actually got hurt in a steel factory in 1985 and so that changed my life. I went to a junior college and that's where I discovered acting.
When I was a kid, the idea of why I wanted acting to be the thing I do for the rest of my life was different. It was, Oh yeah, I'll get girls and be famous.
I think that when I was child, acting was mostly just a hobby for me. It was something that my parents encouraged me to think of the way that my brothers thought of their cross-country classes, or my little sister to dance classes and art classes, and it was something like that for me.
I went to an ordinary school in New York City with no other actors. I learned to compartmentalise different parts of my life. I was one person at home and then another person at work and for that reason my career didn't challenge my family life.
I enjoy acting, and it's given me a ton of happiness and it's affected my life and my family's lives in ways that we just can't imagine.
Growing up, I wasn't sure about acting, but I knew I wanted to be part of the movie industry.
Everything about acting was either the opposite of my personality or it just didn't seem like something I wanted to be a part of.
I had a really normal childhood except I acted. It was like, my brother played soccer, and I was on television sometimes.
I just grew up loving acting and loving entertainment.
