"I... was an actor when I was a little kid, ah, about four years old, in
New York City, where I grew up... And it happened very much by accident.
I did a--I did a couple of modeling jobs. I... did one or two
commercials for Campbell's Soup, and so that's where it started. And
then, um, I was too young to really know what was happening. And my
parents said "This is not gonna be your life, and we want you to
g--either go get an education." And then in high school I got a little
bit more into it, I took classes, I was in plays. Went to college
thinking I was gonna go into business, or law, something practical. And
then the same thing happened again, I fell into it, and went through a
pretty rigorous... It was almost like a conservatory within the
university, and uh, came out of it and... My family was supportive, and I
said, "You know, I think I'm gonna give this a shot." After college I
moved back to New York City, and I did a couple of Off-Off Broadway
plays, I got my SAG card through an MCI commercial, and I met with an
agent, and um, around the same time I auditioned for this ABC TV pilot,
and I ended up getting it. And I went out to L.A. to shoot it, and I
never went back. *laughter* The pilot did not get picked up but I stayed
in Los Angeles, and I was off and running! Haha"
