I Think It's Like, You Know, You

Who's To Say What Would Have Happened If I Had Trusted My Instincts And Moved To New York Like I Thought I Would.

I Only Auditioned At Four Schools. I Started Performing And Studying When I Was In Middle School, And Then As I Got Into High School, It Just Got More Serious. I Feel Like It Became More Of A Vocation. It Became Clear To Me At That Point That I Wanted To Pursue It.

When I Got Out Of School, It Used To Be That It Was Theater Actors That Ended Up Doing Film And Television, And You Had To Come From The Theater To Be Taken Seriously In That World.

I Had Just Gotten Heroes, And I Had Just Found Out That I Was Going To Be Doing [star] Trek, And I Thought It Was Probably A Good Idea For Me To Create An Infrastructure That Would Allow Me To Do My Own Work And Put My Stuff Into The World.

It Feels That Way When I'm Doing A Play, Absolutely. On Film And Television, It's More Complicated Than That I Think, And When You Start To Add The Business Into The Mix, And The Industry Into The Mix, It Doesn't Maintain It's Purity. That's Something That's Inevitable And Unavoidable, But That's Why I Try To Do Plays As Much As I Possibly Can.
