I Spent My Whole Adolescence, When You

My Cat, Andy, Has Been My Best Buddy Since I Was 18, And He Doesn't Care If I'm On A Tv Show Or If I'm Red-carpet Ready. He Just Likes It When I'm There.

Sometimes Doing A Movie For A Short Period Of Time Is Better Than Committing Eight Months To A Television Show.

I Knew I Wanted To Be An Actor, And I Didn't Necessarily Need Or Want To Be Famous Or A Celebrity Actor. But I Wanted To Be Somewhere Where There Would Be No Ceiling On What I Could Accomplish, And I Felt Like If I Stayed In St. Louis I Might Have A Really Great Regional Theater Career Or Something, But That I Wasn't Going To Be Able To Get Much Further Than That. And It Felt Like New York And L.a. Were The Two Places Where You Could End Up Being A Tv Star Or You Could End Up Doing Regional Theater, Which Would Have Been Fine As Well.

Growing Up, I Was A Very Shy, Wallflower Type. I Was Not A Nerd, But Not Popular. I Was Just Invisible, Like That Person You Probably Didn't Know You Were In School With.

I Went To A Little Liberal-arts College In Missouri Called Truman State University.
