Growing up in Telluride, Colorado, I did a lot of repertory theater. But Telluride is such a small town, nothing is competitive. If you want to be on the volleyball team, you're on the volleyball team. If you want to be in theater, you get a role in the play. There were no auditions, so my experience wasn't an indicator that I was talented or had a future in acting. But I enjoyed it. My mom still has questionnaires from when I was in second and third grade. Right beside the question "What do you want to be when you grow up?" I wrote "an actor."
