Yeah, I think it motivates you as people start to count you out. It doesn't make you play any harder, because every time you go out on the field you give 110 percent, but it does give you more of an edge mentally, knowing that you were in the same situation, because in sports you always find yourself behind. ↗

I don't feel I was ever a 'famous' child actor. I was just a working actor who happened to be a kid.

It kept me working and kept me grounded. ↗
