I realized that performing was what I wanted to do when I did my first professional gig as a dancer with my company Synergy in Canada. I was overwhelmed with how it felt to perform in front of an audience.

Lance Guest in The Last Starfighter had such integrity and held himself to such a high standard that I just wanted to raise your own standard to meet it. He is a hard-working, giving actor. He made me feel secure and better in my role opposite him.

I dont have a favorite genre. I love to work and live vicariously through every character. Its all about trying to bring the character to life and get the story across in a way that resonates with the audience. Its always interesting and challenging in a gratifying and unique way.

I became very close with Charles Bronson and his wife, Kim. We did Sea Wolf together along with Christopher Reeve. Ive been lucky enough to work with some amazing, legendary actors. I worked with Rod Steiger twice, for instance.

I have nothing but admiration for the actors on soap operas. It is unbelievably challenging to put out an hour show in one day.
