Personal Quotes
on his early acting days] I would work at Chicago store-front theaters that were little rooms with folding chairs. I did it for free and never really had the ambition to become a movie actor. I just loved acting and never had a desire to move to L.A. But I was fortunate to tell some great stories and I wound up taking shows on the road to London and New York.
