I had worked in this New York theatre company for my first eight or nine years out of college, acting and directing there, and I'd begun to write a little bit.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My first writing job was with a company called TheatreworksUSA.
I'd wanted to be a writer and when I came back to New York worked as a musician too, but I found my writing starting to get more and more referential to cinema.
I started working in New York City as an actor and did many plays. I did regional theater, smaller theaters, children's theater.
I started acting when I was in high school, started writing when I got to New York in 1975.
Being an actor started me writing, and that led to directing.
I grew up wanting to be a writer for theatre.
I came to New York to be an actor and I became a film producer first.
I grew up in the theatre. It's where I got my start. Writing a television drama with theatrical dialogue about the theatre is beyond perfection.
Everything has combined to make my life in New York an amazing experience. I told my manager a few years ago that I wanted to move here and try acting in the theater.
I spent 10 years in New York doing theater.
