When I decided to go to university I didn't know what I wanted to do. When I had an opportunity to take an elective I took Drama by chance, even though I'd never taken a Drama course or even been in a play in high school. Two years later I was majoring in Drama and I knew I wanted to be an actor. ↗

As an actor, the training I received was that I walk through the world as an observer of life and of people. My job is to actually be looking out all the time and watching people. ↗

There's nothing like a play. It's so immediate and every performance is different. As an actor, you have the most control over what the audience is seeing. ↗

Older actors can still play young, but it's harder for young actors to be able to play that age range. ↗
