I took acting classes in college and once I graduated I decided to give acting a shot when I couldn't really think of anything else to do. It took me a couple of years to get an agent and my first big break was The Fanelli Boys which was a sitcom on NBC. Then I did a few television movies.
There's an absolute prejudice that good movies are dramas and comedies are more dismissable. But I couldn't disagree more.
I couldn't survive just doing independent movies. And I'd rather do modelling than movies or TV I didn't like.
It couldn't sound like a dog because K9 isn't a dog but I made it sound as mechanical as possible.
I hated high school. Ugh. I couldn't wait until it was over so I could sleep in. In college I made sure all my classes were in the afternoon. I hated getting up in the morning.
I had someone call me this morning telling me they had somebody who would only work a certain number of hours a week because if they worked too many hours a week then they couldn't get their government assistance. And that person has multiple cell phones and gets them new every month with new minutes.
John Ford was so funny that I couldn't wait to go to work in the morning.
What I remember when I started to write was how I couldn't wait to get up in the morning to get to my characters.
The four of us couldn't have made a record with the time left over when we were shooting the show. We were on stage from 7.30 in the morning 'til 7 at night. Later on when there was a break from filming and we were sick of doing it the old way.
There would be nights when I would wake up and couldn't get back to sleep. So I would go downstairs and write. The staff had a pool going on how many pages of typing I would bring in here in the morning.
