The best thing as an actor, the best tool you have is your imagination.
[2001],We were out of work actors who played a lot of video games, so we were,sort of surprised that Swingers was seen as cool. I think any cool in,it was a geekiness, an awkwardness that most people can relate to.
My father came from nothing, so he believed that people could do,anything if they worked hard enough. I think he liked that I chose to,be an actor. Both he and my mom were totally supportive.
