At the time I was growing up in the business I was very well established within the industry as a child actor and as I grew up and turned into a teenager there was less and less work.

You have to work in this business on your own terms. Don't sell out for money, fame, or notoriety.

Most child actors go through that. Unless you can transition into an adult star, your career is over.

I've played killers, crazies, and really bad people.

Hollywood people want to build you up and make you famous only to knock you off you're the pedestal they built for you.

People are hungry for messages of hope and life. What are you broadcasting?

I was looked at as weird, odd, not fitting in with the Hollywood crowd.
