I grew up in Middle America and I don't think my family was very funny, but I watched 'The Princess Bride.' I always wanted to be an actor. I didn't know anything about it. I'd never seen any plays or anything and I watched that movie over and over and over again.
I grew up in the Southern Baptist Church, where my father was a minister at music, so I sang in the church all the time.
My family is not at all involved in television, or film, or theatre, or any of it, really.
I'm really tall - almost six feet - and my features tend to be extreme, especially on TV.
I started performing in high school. There was a pretty great drama department at my school, and that's when I started doing plays and musicals.
I have a very hard time with confrontation in my own life, and I end up being way too nice.
The thing about living in Los Angeles and doing a lot of movies is that you get to go to a lot of premieres, and, regardless of whether or not you're a celebrity, you still get to walk down the red carpet and then have everyone sort of screaming your name. The pictures never get printed anywhere, but they are nonetheless taking your picture.
I've done so many television pilots. I've done eleven I think and I've never had one get picked up. There was never one that I was a guest star on. It's just fascinating, but I don't think it would be fun to be recognized all the time.
