In independent film you tend to have stories that involve more of a community, and the smaller characters are important to the story.

You get to the middle of a take that's going really well and the camera will run out of film. They have to stop you, apologize and then you've got to get things going all over again.

I wouldn't mind having another shot at doing comedy, but I'm not sure that's the way I'd want to go.

I just figured, "If I can do theater, agents will find their way."

I don't care about the money. I just need, as an actor, to do as many different things that I can to make me feel good about myself.

Because I'd only done theater, that's really what I thought most of my life would be. I always figured that movies would be a part of it at some point. I didn't know how or when.

I'd never done any film or television. Well, I'd done one little stupid commercial in Boston when I was doing theater, but that was it.
