I love working with actors, and it's all been based on my being trained in the theater.

I come from labor country. My mom was a teacher and was very involved in the teachers' union.

You want to mix acting styles correctly. People approach the work in different ways. You want to make sure no one wants to kill each other because the approach is different.
basic cable harder lots material pay places sell television
It is harder to get adult, character-driven material on television than it used to be, but there are lots of other places that you can go to sell it. If you can do it for basic cable or pay cable, we have those outlets.
both certain children head kids laugh learn looked move people smile studying time ways wife
Both of our children are adopted, and my wife and I didn't go out of ways to find kids that looked like us. We were just happy to have some kids. And people tell me all the time that they look like us, and that's because they learn to smile and laugh and move their head a certain way from studying their parents' faces.
came colored
I think we all are kind of colored by whatever we were raised with or what we came up believing in.
If you don't have nerves and a little trepidation about any new project, then I don't think you're really alive.
came groups happening stories worked
I'm interested in working with groups of actors to tell complicated stories about what's happening to people, and that's because I came out of the theatre where I worked in ensembles, and I really loved that.
