Be where the acting is. I live in Houston. Dallas is 4 1/2 hours away. I let them know there's no difference.
I really enjoy acting, and whether it's TV or films, I feel lucky to be doing it at all. In the end, I'd love to do films, but I'm not going to work just to do work. I only want to do something that I feel right about.
If you feel safe then you can go wherever you want to go as an actor.
When I first moved to Los Angeles I came down there on a wing and a prayer in a way. I had about six weeks worth of money to make it there and that was just from doing a couple of episodes of the X-Files just to finance that trip. I got there and it is either you got to hit it or you got to go and, thankfully, I found a job.
It's not easy making money as an actor. It's just not an easy thing to do. There's so many that want to do it and so few opportunities to do it that it's not as easy as it would seem.
I want to be a working actor; I want to do jobs that excite me and challenge me, and I want to something fun.
I still have auditions for independent films. I've been still working.
I really loved my dad. I was very, very close to my dad. He - you know, he was very, very nervous about my being an actor.
The only way to be an actor is to find ways to work as an actor, even if that means doing a one-man show by a river.
I'm glad to be an actor to be employed by people who are now 12, probably. I look forward to that.
Actually the years when I was playing totally un - well, they were just roles that just went by the board, you wouldn't want to know. But anyway, I'm glad I had that chance to build my craft.
