You get callbacks, and they either give it to what they call a 'name' performer, or they decide to go in an entirely different direction.

You just have to go to bat and take a swing. And if you're not right for a part, or it goes to a British man, they may remember that you showed up, knew your lines and were good. And maybe they'll call you in for something else.

There's a very definite sense that the momentum has changed direction,

When your name is on the marquee, you either get the glory or you get the hits.

It's valuable to me as an artist and actor to explore all kinds of outlets. So if a local filmmaker in Milwaukee had a good story, I'd be part of it in a second.

I'm no producer's kid.
