I'm working on a new novel, in its 3rd draft, but it's hard to write while doing 7th Heaven.
I can't come on like a parent to these kids, if I do, I won't be able to have fun working with them. The good news is they all have parents. The younger ones, their parents by law have to be on set.
I go to St. Matthews in Pacific Palisades, an Episcopal Church.
I have an almost seven year old... I think it's essential to be consistent with kids. And truthful, without scaring them. I could go on for hours on this one.
I'm from the US of A. Born in Des Moines, raised in the New York suburbs.
The process of doing plays will make you an actor.
There are many exceptions, but New York is a great place to start a career.
When you put a group of actors together who get along, and we have since day one, they don't become like their roles. What tends to happen is their age disappears and they all deal with each other as friends.
Writing a book is such a full-time job. If you're away for a few days, you have to start again.
In Hawaii, we go to this wonderful place, all families. My wife and I go directly from breakfast to a beach chair where we read all day. My daughter goes from water to pool to running around with friends she meets, some of whom are regulars there.
I'm pretty sure someone else had turned it down before I got the script. I'm not sure he read it.
