“I don't really get nervous in front of people. I kind of walk into every situation like I'm walking in to meet my peers, and they either like me or not.”

“I worked at the Northlight Theater in Skokie, and the Mercury Theater on South Port. I actually did a show there for three years, called 'Over the Tavern.'”

“I've been acting since I was 8 - I used to play hockey and there was a kids' theatre down the street from my house and one day I just walked in and signed up for auditions for 'The Wizard Of Oz.'”

“I love the consistency of working on television. You don't get that in working on film.”

“I went to art school in Chicago for a year at Columbia College. I had this whole master plan of getting into sustainable development and green architecture and construction, so I wanted to go to business school and then get my masters in construction and development.”

“I remember the 'Scary Movie' series coming out for sure, and I was a big fan of those.”
