Thomas Haden Church
I've been a writer longer than I've been an actor. I wrote short stories like crazy when I was in high school and college. I worked in advertising before I moved to L.A. to pursue acting.

Thomas Haden Church
But I'm a citizen of Texas and try to spend most of my time there.
Thomas Haden Church
