I grew up in the Southern Baptist Church, where my father was a minister at music, so I sang in the church all the time.

I really love being a character actor. I have to say I wish it were a little easier. There are still a lot of things that I don't get, like I do wish I had more of my own.

I started performing in high school. There was a pretty great drama department at my school, and that's when I started doing plays and musicals.

I used to audition like crazy - I would go on a hundred before I got anything. It took me a long time to get any jobs at all. It was hard until I booked 'Galaxy Quest,' and then it started to get easier.

The older I get, the more I appreciate what came before.

My family is still very Southern Baptist, and they're religious.

I've done so many television pilots. I've done eleven I think and I've never had one get picked up. There was never one that I was a guest star on. It's just fascinating, but I don't think it would be fun to be recognized all the time.
