Acting is really about having the courage to fail in front of people.
For me, becoming a man had a lot to do with learning communication, and I learned about that by acting.
Acting, to me, has been many things: It's a business, and it's a craft, and it's a political act - it's whatever adjective is most applicable.
Juilliard definitely emphasizes the theater. They don't train - at all really - for film acting. It's mostly process-oriented, pretty much for the stage.
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'm not an acting monk or anything. I'm not, like, the most well-adjusted actor.
