Most actors do that. They fill in the blanks. You don't want to play a cipher.
You know early on when you're given a gift that can keep you sane. That's what acting does for me. It keeps me honest and keeps me sane.
The work I did with Artists Collective led me to a scholarship at Uconn… It led to me getting a scholarship at the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center and a scholarship at Trinity Rep in Providence.
Working on 'Candyman' in Chicago was probably the - I absolutely love this city, this city is so funky.
Chicago's a great city for filming. The city is so rich architecturally. I think that's part of what made 'Candyman' special.
My first assignment was a curtain-puller for 'The Curious Savage.'
But you have to be told you're special first before you believe it yourself. I was first told I was special by my aunt. The second person was my scoutmaster.
It's weird how your friends chart things. First it's, 'When are you going to get a job?' Then as soon as things started to happen, it's, 'We're proud of you. You represent us.'
I had a great childhood. My priorities were straight.
I can't speak to what makes people think that I'm scary.
It's like going back home… It really is a family on '24.'
When you do a good theatrical production, sometimes you dream about that 8 o'clock curtain call for six months.
