When I grew up, the only way a lad like me would maybe escape was playing football. Not being an actor.

I used to like Barbra Streisand films. It was Funny Girl that really turned me on, in a sense, to acting. I remember it specifically being a rainy Saturday afternoon. I couldnt play football, so I stayed in, and I watched Funny Girl.

School was not a place I enjoyed.
