Theater is the most enriching and thrilling thing to do as an actor.
I'm sure that my wanting to be an actor had to do with a need for approval.
I never thought of myself as a comedic actor. I didn't go to Second City, that's not my background, I'm not a comic, I studied theater and my career when I started was a lot of dramatic stuff.
Sometimes you read a script and it's like, "You'll improv and this is just a blueprint of what the scene could be," and that's never a good sign. And it's never encouraging as an actor to take that on, really.

It was really like the easiest day of filming for us because we just had to stand there and watch, and all of the reactions were pretty organic.
They can feel very sure that they are not going to make fools of themselves in front of others. Any questions they want to ask they can, through the learning advisors we have here, or through posting questions on the Web site, but at the end of the day there will always be a role for face-to-face learning
