I acted in MS and HS plays, and while studying theater in college I auditioned for and got a part in a professional production in a neighboring town that gave me experience and encouragement. After college I joined with a group of recent college graduates interested in theater and we created a theater company that created original plays and toured to middle schools, high schools, and colleges throughout the Northeast.

At 8yrs of age in the 3rd grade I was the Narrator of The Night Before Xmas as the class performed the poem around me onstage. It was the first "zing!" I felt performing. At 15, I did my first paying/professional gig in an educational film in Wash. DC.

I was amazed that I couldn't see the audience even though they were right in front of me. That was comforting. Also, It was the first time I'd ever heard an audience applaud for anything I'd ever done...and I was hooked. Thing is...I can't for the life of me remember what the play was about.

I studied theatre in high school and in college and have been doing it professionally ever since and I honestly can't remember the first time I realized it was what I wanted to do, it's just always been inevitable, I've never been able or interested in doing anything else. If you want to be an actor, starting acting, in any venue you can find and keep doing it for as long as you want.
