When I went to school - Pasadena Playhouse - we were taught that the obligation of the actor is twofold: to entertain and to educate.

I have actually directed over thirty plays and about one hundred commercials for cable TV, but have not yet had the opportunity to direct a feature film.

I would rather entertain and hope that people learned something than educate people and hope they were entertained.

I started out as a Cold Warrior, even my last years in grade school.

When I was a kid, I wanted to be a clown. I didn't want to be an actor, I wanted to join the circus and entertain people.

I think deep down I've always wanted to be an actor. It was the one thing in school that I was undoubtedly enthusiastic about and good at. I coasted along being good at German, Geography, English and football but there wasn't anything that I could really call my thing, my niche.
