I Always Call Myself A

Let's Just Say I Can Never Be Cast Again After Ron Swanson. Then I Have A Life Of Theater And Woodworking And My Wife To Look Forward To, And That Doesn't Make Me Anything But Very Happy.

I've Never Seen A Theater Community To Rival That Of Chicago. Neither New York Nor L.a. Has The Raw Talent Or Integrity That Chicago Theater Has, And I Think It's Because Chicago Doesn't Have Broadway Or The Film And Tv Business To Distract It.

Whenever I Have A Stubborn Position On Something, I Take A Deep Breath And Swallow Myself.

It's Hard To Swallow When People Say, "oh My God, You're A Master Of Something." I Say, "no, I'm Actually A Student Of That. I Could Turn You On To Websites For 25 Masters, And You'll Quickly See That I Am Their Disciple."

My Education Began In Theater School, And It Continues To This Day. I Just Continued Learning To Be A Better Performer.
