Through theater and acting school, I found a way to articulate myself.
Acting is a business and a political act and a craft, but I also feel like it's a service - specifically, for a military audience.
I think it's possible to be free in a big production. It's the eye of the director and the actor and the story.
I actually run a non-profit where one of the main objectives is to branch out and get a new audience for the theater. Just because the writing is so good and nothing is more effective than seeing something live and happening right in front of your face, so I definitely want to continue to pursue that.
I'm not an acting monk or anything. I'm not, like, the most well-adjusted actor.
It was very clear to me I wanted to be an actor when I got out into civilian life.
I don't have cable. I just never watched a lot of TV.
I was born in California. When I was six, we moved to a small town in northern Indiana called Mishawaka.
Girls' feels very active and stirring a conversation and controversial, and you can't really ask for more as an actor.
