What made you want to get into the entertainment industry?
I grew up on a farm in rural Virginia so the excitement of the entertainment industry always had a very strong pull on me. When I finally got to a place where I could take an acting class I knew that I was hooked. I loved it and felt at home and certain about my career for the first time.
Out of the many television series you appeared in, which one was your most memorable experience?
Hmmm. let’s see. I did this really fun Guest star on Diagnosis Murder and I just loved working with that cast and crew but my character died at the end of the episode. I wrote a letter to the Executive Producer, Fred Silverman and thanked him for having me on the show and then I made a suggestion that I they could bring me back from the dead a la “Vertigo” and that’s what they did. I was thrilled when my agent called to say that they wanted to bring me back as the evil twin. It was a blast the second time on the show but at the end of the episode, my character went to jail.
Any future projects or events you would like my readers to know about?
I did this really wild independent film called “Footsteps” that still hasn’t been released. I’m really anxious to see how it turns out. The script had a strong David Lynch feel to it.
Can you reveal to my readers any juicy secrets behind the scenes of Hollywood? (example, which actor/actress was the nicest on set, etc.)
wow. there are so many stories. let’s see…Heather Locklear and is one of the nicest people I’ve worked with. John Ratzenberger is the most hilarious, Roseanne was the most intimidating, Dick Van Dyke is one of the happiest. He literally dances and sings around the set all day. Rick Springfield is very considerate, I was working on a show with Rick and there was a kiss in the episode and I was really nervous but he was so sweet and could completely read my nerves so he helped make it a good experience. Most of the time it is fun and people are nice and inviting but you would be surprised how many successful actors on successful shows are just miserable. On the set of Big Time Rush everyone is friendly and also very grateful to be working.
