I always enjoy working, even if it's uncredited or as an extra. I've never worked for the recognition, it's just nice to be able to say that I was a part of something.

Who do I admire most as an actor? I would have to say Vincent D'Onofrio. When I first met him I was gosh, 12? It was on the set of Mystic Pizza and I was an extra. I had the biggest crush on him. He called me a cute kid and I was devastated, I seriously cried! I didn't see him again until 1997 on the set of Homicide. I was like okay, I'm an adult now, I'm going to let him know he made me cry. And then, I watched him act. I mean really watched him.....and I was completely mesmerized. I was shaking when the scene was over and couldn't believe the effect his performance had on me! I've been in a couple of his movies since then, but I've never been able to talk to him- I feel like I'm going to throw up, like I'm not even worthy enough to be in the same room! He's amazing! Look, I'm getting chills just thinking about it!
