I Don't Really Know Of The Jewish

In My Career, I've Had Kind Of A Strange Trajectory As An Actor. I Started Out Doing Movies And Theater And Stuff, But Then I Had A Terrible Problem With Stage Fright As An Actor On Stage, And I Quit Stage Acting For A Long, Long Time.

Well, Because I Have Twin Seven-year-old Boys, I Enjoy The Gift Giving Stuff A Great Deal. We Do Both Hanukkah And Christmas, So It Is A Costly, Though Extremely Pleasing Proposition.

Most Of The Time When I Receive A Script, It Says Something Like 'rosenberg Is The Fat, Slovenly Mayor, Who Doesn't Want The Kids To Use The Skateboard Park,' Or 'stein Is A Pompous, Rotund Attorney, Imposing To All.' It Would Be So Freeing To Get A Script Where My Character Is Simply Described As 'a Man.'

Though I Acted In Hundreds Of Productions, Appeared At The Guthrie Theatre And On Broadway In Amadeus, I Discovered In My Thirties That I Didn't Really Like Stage Acting. The Presence Of The Audience, The Eight Shows A Week And The Possibility Of A Long Run Were All Unnatural To Me.

I Always Did Plays In School Because I Thought It Was Fun, But It Just Never Occurred To Me As A Thing To Do.
