You could count on less than one hand the number of St. Petersburg families that include a bona fide movie star. Celebrity, of one sort or another, ...

We all have our own lives, so it gives us a great reason to come together, do what we love and give back to the community, and spend some time with your family. As much as we want to give back to the community, and between what I do for a living, what Mark does for a living, what Paul does for a living … hang on, we can do these are charity events.’ So here we are, what is it, 12 years later, having done 10 or 12 shows. Yes, I loved rhythm, and I loved to play, and I got out aggression and all that … the other side is, when you’re four and a half and six years younger than your brothers, you don’t want to spend a ton of time with them. Probably because Mark was into guitar, Paul was playing the trumpet at the time, and I think I just wanted to take out my aggression on something, I guess, I don’t know … I always wanted to play, and my parents did it in stages. I loved the way that my parents chose for us to live, in a pretty easygoing community, on the water. I love my co-star there, and it was a dream to have Paul on set, and meet Eugenie. She was fantastic. I have no problem playing a role over and I over that I enjoy playing. I wanted a career based on versatility and longevity versus ‘I want to be famous.’ And I felt like I would get into movies in my 30s. It wasn’t until I auditioned for Carnegie Mellon, and got in, and the head of the department said ‘Our program is both – it’s musical theater and it’s acting.’ That really narrowed my focus. So I had no dreams of like, ‘I want to be in movies,’ I wanted to be an actor. I loved doing musicals in high school, but it’s not like I knew any of the musicals I was doing before I did them.
