I was in eighth grade when I did my first Junior Theatre show. I was in 'Annie Get Your Gun' as a dancing Indian.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I got into theater at an early age.
I did ballet and gymnastics, and then I started acting when I was eight - just doing amateur theater at a place called Oldham Theatre Workshop in my hometown.
While I was growing up all over, in all my different schools, I was always doing theater, auditioning for plays.
When I played 'Annie' in the seventh grade, I knew from then on that I wanted to be an actor.
I was a musical theatre geek in high school and college.
I was a kid who went to film school and fell into acting.
I think by eighth grade I knew I wanted to be an actor. I'd done church plays and stuff, but my first actual acting class was in eighth grade. I was obsessed with it.
I actually got started in acting when I was in pre-school. I was really into dance and performing, so my mom had me in dance classes, and then I got involved in a local theater company.
I discovered the theater when I was in the first grade.
I started acting in second grade - my first role was in the Thanksgiving play. I was the Indian chasing the turkey. All the other mom's encouraged my mom to get me into acting after that. Also, when I saw 'The Sound of Music' at Music Circus, I knew I wanted to act.
