• The Lone Star experience was tough at the time, but it really allowed me to look at things from a 3,000-foot high view.

No one can take that away from you.
• Regarding being selected to portray Brad Cohen in 2008’s Front of the Class, Hallmark Hall of Fame (1951) – It mobilized my emotions, which makes it so much easier to act. When you feel moved by the story, you want to tell that story.
