I Do Believe That Belief Is The

I'm More Than An Actor. I'm An Icon, An Industry.

Becoming An Actor Wasn’t A Choice – It Was Something I Was Forced Into. At 3, You Can’t Make Those Choices... I Supported My Family, And If I Got Fired Or Missed An Audition, I’d Be Punished As If I’d Messed Up In School. I Was Starved, Because They Wanted To Keep My Weight At A Certain Place; My Hair Was Bleached – That Was My Life. I Wasn’t Allowed To Play With Kids On My Block Or Ride A Bike Or Play Ball, In Case I Got A Scratch – I Wasn’t Even Allowed To Be Bar Mitzvahed Because I Couldn’t Attend Enough Lessons.

I Always Keep My Options Open. I Always Say, "make Me An Offer And Send Me The Script, And If It's Something That I Can Connect To Or Relate To..." The Character Has To Intrigue Me, And The Project Overall Has To Intrigue Me. And If It All Lines Up Properly, Then We Can Get Into The Business Side Of It. But It's Always About The Creative First.

It Was A Great Experience For A Kid, Because It Was A Bunch Of Kids Playing On Pirate Ships And Water Slides, So Looking Back On It, It Was The Fondest Experience Of My Childhood.

I've Been Labeled All My Life.
