I took acting classes in college, and once I graduated, I decided to give acting a shot when I couldn't really think of anything else to do. It took me a couple of years to get an agent, and my first big break was The Fanelli Boys, which was a sitcom on NBC. Then I did a few television movies. ↗

One of the most difficult speeches to prepare is an address to a graduation class, which is why I don't often do them. ↗
