The whole year I was in LA I got into telemarketing and learned how to make money. Five years later that skill helped me make my first film.

I had five years in the business in Canada, and then I came down to the States in February of 2010. I had a good pilot season. I started getting guest star work. I started to get bigger stuff.

While I was in high school, I started working professionally and got an agent.

I've been in this business now for almost ten years. I've done a lot of stories. I have a pretty good track record.

My first job in the film business was working as a production assistant, and then a production manager on a documentary about Townes Van Zandt.

The first four and a half years was me in the studio every day, writing songs for other people. I had jobs, too - eleven jobs. I worked at Kinko's, Fatburger, Subway - I was a sandwich artist - and I was a claims processor at Allstate Insurance.

I had been doing summer stock every summer while I was in college. We did a showcase, like most good conservatories do - monologues and things that agents and casting directors come to see. From that I got an agent.

When I was at U.C.L.A., I worked my way through school as a tour guide at Universal Studios, and I came in contact with a lot of people in the agency business.

The type of producing that I did for many years involved working very closely with directors.

I had an agent in Salt Lake City, but acting was more like a hobby.
