“So that person came over and we talked and I started going downtown taking auditions for like United Airlines or whatever. Anyway, nothing happened to that. Then I started doing this, Pheasant Run, and did some acting in high school and college. And then I was like, it's so much more fun to be up there than in the pit. So I started auditioning and just booking commercial after commercial up to commercial after commercial. And then I was like, well, this is all we get in Chicago. We get commercial work. A lot of movies don't come to town. No, not at all. And if one does, you have 10,000 actors auditing for one line.”

And there people started getting auditions and stuff as an actor, but I was in the little tiny pit wishing I was, because when you're in the pit of a musical night after night after night after show after show after show, you're like, it's like watching the same movie over him. You can't really talk to anybody because to be quiet. So I'm like, this is living hell. So, but it's a great job.”
