Acting is really about having the courage to fail in front of people.
Acting is a business and a political act and a craft, but I also feel like it's a service - specifically, for a military audience.
Something I learned in the Marine Corps that I've applied to acting is, one, taking direction, and then working with a group of people to accomplish a mission and knowing your role within that team.
Acting, to me, has been many things: It's a business, and it's a craft, and it's a political act - it's whatever adjective is most applicable.
For me, becoming a man had a lot to do with learning communication, and I learned about that by acting.
I'm not an acting monk or anything. I'm not, like, the most well-adjusted actor.
Through theater and acting school, I found a way to articulate myself.
Juilliard definitely emphasizes the theater. They don't train - at all really - for film acting. It's mostly process-oriented, pretty much for the stage.
The Marine Corps is some of the best acting training you could have. Having that responsibility for people's lives, suddenly time becomes a really valuable commodity and you want to make the most of it. And for acting, you just have to do the work, just keep doing it.
