I wasn't used to sitting on the bench. I shouldn't have done it, but I did kind of start to lay back and not work as hard. It's taking a toll on me right now, but I feel I'm starting to gain the confidence of the coaches.
I was not worried at halftime at all. But then we come out and only score two points in the third quarter - you just can't win like that.
We came out flat and everything was off, but once we got rolling we had the game in the bag.
Why is there such vanity about hair? I make a point to bathe. I worry about boogers in my nose, and I ask the makeup artist to cover up my pimples, but beyond that, I try not to be too vain.
So I was hugely thrilled that my first scene ever on camera was with Hal Holbrook.
You know, you never say never because before I did 'ER,' I always said 'I'll never do a TV series,' so that's what I said.
There are definitely roles within this industry that are industry-related, but to be a good actor, you really have to want to act first. At the same time, my goal was never to go to Hollywood to make movies. I think if you come here with that attitude, then you've missed a few steps.
I love being a part of something that is grassroots, and you can see the actual changes, the effect of what people do.
