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 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'm conflicted with theater in the city because you want to reach a diverse audience, and that audience doesn't typically go to the theater.

Through theater and acting school, I found a way to articulate myself.

Acting is really about having the courage to fail in front of people.

The Marine Corps is some of the best acting training you could have. Having that responsibility for people's lives, suddenly time becomes a really valuable commodity and you want to make the most of it. And for acting, you just have to do the work, just keep doing it.

Emphasis in the Marine Corps isn't on talking about your feelings.
