Actors are one family over the entire world. [Alfre Woodard]
Deal me out this hand, I'm on
I've spent many a day on one stage or another. It started in the third grade, when I adapted Tom Sawyer for performance in the front of the class with my best friend Steve Ciacciarelli. He was Tom and I was Huck. (Steve and I did act together "for real" later, in Ionesco's "Rhinoceros".)
