Quotes
The day I came to my first football practice, I was studying for a mime tournament and I showed up with whiteface on. When the coach saw my make-up, he made me do bear crawls all over the place.
About having a role in 'Search for Tomorrow': I thought I'd do a show that nobody would see, and I'd be able to do theater. I ended up working on the soap 15 hours a day.
