I wanted to be a political science professor and go to school in Boston. I never wanted to be a big famous movie star and TV star. It kind of found me.

My mother is a professor of early childhood education. When I was two she would say she knew I was going to be an actor.

Dad was a chemistry professor at Saint Olaf College in Minnesota then Oxford College in Minnesota and a very active member of the American Chemical Society education committee where he sat on the committee with Linus Pauling who had authored a very phenomenally important textbook of chemistry.

My dad is a doctor a professor of psychiatry and my mum is a psychotherapist.
