“I had some influences younger. I had a friend that lived in a trailer park and his mom, he didn't have, I remember the first time I went to his house. There's two babies in the cribs. It was a trailer park he had. And his grandparents at home. And they used to charge him a quarter to shower, which I found odd. But I come to realize that the mom had like 15 or 16 kids all by different fathers. And so I don't know that they put a huge value sadly on these kids. And he would survive. He would find ways to eat or do things to survive. And so I was fascinated. He could walk into places by feeling like he belonged there. He would go in a grocery store and he would just start to make a sandwich and eat it and talk to the people why he did it. And they wouldn't bother him.”

“I was very fortunate that the Chevy commercial, and it was literally, I never talked, I caught some car keys, and then they would put that in different clips. $60,000 I would make off that in a year, another commercials I had that made a lot of money. So I was financially way ahead of the game, and I lived very frugally. And then I started working. And, you know, you get residual checks and money coming in. So I was very fortunate that I was a working actor at a very young age. When I say working, I mean not well known, but able to work in shows.”

“I was just like, I was just there to be an actor. I was there to work, and I was very self assured in the fact that I would work hard and do it, and I signed up for classes, and I think they just thought, okay, this kid seems like he's serious. But I think it's important to know that no one talked about the friends I had younger. There wasn't as many, there were three networks at the time, and then Fox came.”

“Well known people as an agent at ICM. And I said, well, no one at my age is that well known. I said, I feel really like I'm ready for this. And I persisted enough that she recommended me to a girl she knew who used to be an assistant. And it was like, it was next to Pink's hot dogs. It was a small little office. I got in. But it was great. I had opportunities to audition.”

“Weight machine. And I would, you know, one of the demonstrators of how to use it in Indiana farm insurance commercial, different stuff. So I felt like I was working a lot and I had trained quite a bit. I took it very seriously and I had trained a lot every chance I had. I was taking classes and reading. So when I went to Los Angeles, I really had a point of view that I belonged. So maybe to your friend's point, at that age, although of course there was a lot more to learn, but I gave myself that permission and I felt the opportunities would be greater out there. And I don't know what's in a young man's mind for how they land on things other than it felt like a better opportunity. And that's what I was putting my chips anyway. And I think then the telemarketing or the sales stuff did help because I was able to call agents with confidence and suggest that they should sign me. And they remember them saying, we don't work with unknown people. We only work with like...”

“There was a different mindset at the time, I think, in general with young actors in that I don't know that I ever thought I would make a lot of money doing it or I didn't have I didn't define successes like I'll make a lot of money or star in a movie and make it to me it was more, I really loved enjoying this if I could be good in a scene I'd like that and if I could get a chance to There was nothing in my mind's eye that was separate, meaning a commercial or a television show, anything that would be performing and making a living doing it felt like a good idea So I had had a level of success in Chicago I my parents didn't want me to do anything professional like that until I was 18 but then I got an agent that's another story but I got this agent and I started booking the National Commercial I mean silly things like Sears Roebuck had a universal”

“Listening. You had to be present in the moment for what the other person was providing because if you responded without hearing it, it killed the commitment from the audience to believe it. So if you said, I'm an astronaut, one of the first lessons is yes and. So I would accept what you do and add to it. But if you say we're astronauts and I say no, we're not, we're cowboys, then the audience is now disengaged because there's no believability. But if you say we're astronauts and I say yes, and we also train horses, how are we going to do this? I've continued the creation of the imagination. So in collaborating, I think listening is paramount because you want to be working together to create a reality.”

“There's different body types, there's different energies. I mean that in the way of some people, you know this in life too, right? Like Jackie Gleason had this or Farley had it. And I don't mean about size, it's just a presence. And then others are more intellectualized or thought out. So there's more than one way to the waterfall. There's not one size fits all. And you may, you know, you could draw from, see, I think one of the great ways to learn is watching others. You don't learn from being isolated. You really only learn from watching others and then application to by doing it. You can't learn, I think in fact it's impossible to learn from just writing down what someone else is saying. So it was great in the live sense to draw from others and to take from them. But I didn't see it much different than method acting and that ultimately was about”

“He did. He would say that. And I wasn't with him as much. He would come in and there were classes I took with him. But it was an interesting point of view that you're not there to yuck it up and signal to people that were having fun. Comedy on some level can be an over commitment to the absurd. So something that is an extreme point of view and your absolute commitment to that could be comedic, right? I like that as a foundation on some level that you were taking things seriously to some degree or putting your weight behind it if you would.”

“About comedy, the stories you hear about him kind of being intense about it was very true. But it was great exposure at a young age to be given the permission to actually perform and to do it and to do it live in front of an audience.”

“He felt that it's become more written sketch oriented, and he started this thing called the Herald, in which it's true improvisation. You learn a set of skills. You'll take suggestions from the audience, and you will incorporate the games that you play and hopefully create a linear story structure that has an ending where the things that are set up in the beginning pay off. And so I wasn't old enough to be in these bars, but they put me on stage very quickly as a woman. I think she still runs at Name Sharana. They were very nice to me. I went down, and maybe after two or three weeks, they put me on stage and I started performing. And it was really a writer's workshop, a lot of great writers have come out of that same system because you're seeing others do it, you're having to think ahead of how you're going to match this up. And so he was a very interesting guy. I had taken a few classes with him. I didn't get to know him intimately, but he would always say there's nothing fun.”

“Well, I started taking, I knew that I enjoyed acting, and so I started, I live close to Chicago, which was a great place for training because it wasn't as if you were going to be on stage and go to a pilot or a better professional opportunity. It was really just about the training. So that was excellent. I took a workshop, I think it was called the Actor Center, Shakespeare and Dance. I met a gentleman in that that said, you'd be very good at improv. You might like improv, and I'm a member of a group called the Improv Olympic. And I knew of Second City. And I said, oh, I thought maybe I'd go take classes at Second City.”

“Like in the class president. You look prisoner's dilemma with the other teachers. It's interesting to look back at your rationale, right? It was like, oh, this would position me in a way that would checkmate to pass these classes perfectly.”

“Running for student counsel thought this is going to look great on my application to an Ivy League school, I don't know why, but that kind of bothered me. So anyway, I thought I got to do this because I got to give a speech and they'll have to pass me. My senior year, I couldn't miss any classes. If they didn't pass me, I would not have graduated. And the idea of not moving to California and pursuing what I wanted to do, which I knew, and the idea of having to go to summer school was a real concern of mine. So I did run for class president and I did win class president. In doing so, I did get better grades my senior year and I think some of it was perception. Interestingly enough, because I was the class president, I found my grades to improve with very little effort.”

“Tried to get their approval and play the game versus really investigate it, which would lead to confrontations. And I gotten a lot of trouble. I would cut school and those kinds of things as well. So ultimately, yes, I was nervous. I had to graduate high school. My parents said, you got to graduate high school. And it was less, I mean, it was more about there were certain requirements I didn't meet. I hadn't taken enough years of math or foreign language wasn't interesting the way they were teaching foreign language. I didn't like that. They were saying Tagusta for three years and no one could speak Cam Spanish. I just didn't enjoy the process of it. So I thought if I'm senior class president, the senior class president will speak at graduation. And I was very opposed to anything class presidency. I didn't like, for whatever reason, I didn't like that kind of thing.”

“So I remember overly talking in a way that I was an expert on everything I was saying and that I knew the answers to things. And for whatever reason in my young mind, I felt like I had to really nail this or they were going to take me away. And it came back that I was borderline hyperactive. But that's Mo Shung boys, I think. Like you can't sit still, you're not listening. And so I had that kind of thing in me. I always loved to read and I always loved to learn and I just didn't like the process of memorizing and taking tests. I never enjoyed it and I didn't enjoy stuff that I found to be ineffective and I felt ethically challenged with playing the game as if like if I didn't believe something why am I writing it? Should I not be investigating a principle that's sound? Why am I catering to an individual who isn't presenting a good argument? And why would I just”

“Yeah, I didn't put a real value. I always try to think for myself. And so there were some teachers who I quite enjoyed and would get a lot out of it. And there were others that I just really didn't engage with. And I for some reason gave myself permission to speak my mind. And I was always, I think, empathetic in that I had a lot of different experiences and friends with different groups, and I was on all sides of it. So I got along with everybody. And I was very bored with school. I didn't enjoy it. I had, younger, when I was very young, I did well on an IQ test, and yet I was not paying attention. I just was bored. And I remember they took me to a psychiatrist. They said, oh, we think he might have learning disabilities. And I was really afraid. And at the time, I didn't vocalize it, but I was maybe six. But I thought that at the other side of this, there was a fear that they could take me from my family.”

“So and so home. I'm Venice Vaughn calling from Lake County Sheriff's Police Rodeo. And it was something along the lines of the police are throwing a rodeo in celebration of this. The families, family packages for it, would you like to send an orphan for just $5, an orphan can go and enjoy the after. As if some orphans were going to come out and the other ones had to stay inside the place. Concept, you know, it's crazy that you didn't evaluate. But I remember seeing as a competition, and I did very well, I think I won tickets to Madonna or something for selling out. But anyway, we give me her sitting outside and every week there was a turnover. So the bottom 20% would go and there'd be a new 20%. And some of the people doing the job were older than I was. And I was kind of excited. And there was a little bit of the factory mentality of people who weren't so happy or excited. And I learned that they had a different perspective because they were like that the job really meant something.”

“I mean, thousands of them. So I was feeling great like I'm selling these tickets to the rodeo, to the sheriff's rodeo in a nondescript building in Illinois. But I got good at calling people, you know, make them laugh, connect to them in some way, and then emotionally hit them up for the orphans if they said no to the other package. And that was an interesting one because years later at 16, I took it at face value. And years later, I evaluated, you know, in those moments when your mind wanders, I started to question, was there ever a rodeo and who were these orphans? And maybe I was taking money from people on a fixed income, and that didn't feel good.”

“But we would sit at this table and we would sell and the name would be on the board. Now, what we were selling was the point that came in question years later because it was a nondescript building in Waukegan, Illinois referred to as Waukeasy, Illinois. But we were selling tickets to the Lake County Sheriff's Police Rodeo. So the fact that the police were throwing a rodeo would really have one suggested was an authentic thing because the police were throwing a rodeo, right? I don't know if the police even knew about the damn rodeo. And there was a family package that was $20, which got you four. And then there was an orphan. Would you like to send an orphan? I mean, who doesn't want to send an orphan to an event? It was a time when the rodeo wasn't questioned the treatment of anything like that. So I was very good at selling orphans.”

“I had a few of them younger in service industry and that, but the one that was, I changed perspective on as I got older was it seemed great at the time, and I've shared it before, but was the telemarketing job. I was old enough to drive a car. I was 16. It was the summertime. We were always encouraged, you know, to work. So I got a job. I thought it was a great job because I sat behind this desk and I would read this form and insert names and I'd kind of make it my own. And I like competition and it felt as such that we would all be in a room together. And it was an odd setup looking back. It was a guy, anyone 15 years older than you seems old. That's just how life is. So he felt old to me, although he was probably younger than I am now. But he had a very young, much younger girlfriend, and she would bring him soup and they'd sit in the back office. It was an odd arrangement.”

“Be someone that created a past that was not truthful. He had told us that he made the Olympic team, but that it was when the year that we boycotted it. And it turned out not to be true. But anyway, I guess the long version of it is I think that I gained more than I lost, even with him being challenging in a lot of ways. I wouldn't change that experience. And you can have a great coach, which there are in wrestling. And I think in general, one of the great attributes of wrestling is constitution and grit, the ability to survive painful moments and not take them on in the absolute sense, meaning to have perspective on pain.”

“What you thought was going to get you there is not, and now will you stand right? But inevitably, the second string heavyweight was never going to make that time. So the first time he would do it, he would say, okay, he'd called the kid's name out loud was Illinois, what was either, I think it was, I remember the name, I won't say it, but it might have been like Eastern European last name. And he said he was late. So then the first time you'd run after that, there'd be some encouragement. Come on, you could do it. But the second or third time, kids would start yelling and screaming at him or kicking at him and really physically forcing him. It was like a bad few good men. It was terrible. And I always had a problem with a third authority anyway, and I clashed with him a lot. I ended up just showing up at the meets and I was good enough that I could do that. I wouldn't go to practices all the time. I really had problems with him. But he did punch me one time in the chest. But he turned out to be...”

“It was like Hobra Kai. It was crazy. He had his own emotional issues. So we would want to meet like 60 to 60 or whatever it was. And he would be angry over the few mistakes. And at some point you just heard the emotion being poured on you. Remember his sister was an assistant. He'd always say, get me a tab and an aspirin or an advil. Go give me a tab in Avil. And then he keeps screaming at us. He would sometimes, like there was a run these stairs.”

You got beat, right? And you are dehydrated. It's odd that you're growing and yet you're trying to maintain a weight as, I mean, especially when you're doing it when you're younger, it's very challenging. But I really felt that I got, and you would come out of playing football feeling like you were in shape, and then you would go in wrestling and you would realize you're not in any kind of shape because if you just wrestle, it's exhausting. And then the only other thing you can do is run. And in the winter in Illinois, that meant hallways and stairs. We had a coach that was, he got fired. He was not fit to be with kids, but I felt like I was benefited from having that personality, but he was a real problem. But I remember...”

“I think it's important, and I think George Washington, I think, credited ballroom dancing and horseback riding is two of the most important things he did because it gave him confidence physically and grace and being a leader, I don't know that you can put grace in the body without whether it's I took ballet, I took played sports, I think it's important, especially for me being tall, it allowed me to have, I think, more control and confidence in my height. So wrestling to me was really a course in resiliency and discipline. I would have loved to have played other teams sports, but I was very good at wrestling for whatever reason. And I wasn't as accepted in some of the team sports. So wrestling is very much a loner sport. If you're on a team bus, you kind of joke around and laugh. On a wrestling bus, everyone is dead silent.”

So that was challenging because it really made me evaluate the oldest cliche without your health. You don't have anything. So I really got the experience of feeling like, well, what if I can't move around? people go outside and play and things I had taken for granted.

We were going maybe 35 miles an hour. And then we hydroplaned. And I woke up in a ditch. My thumb ripped up real bad. And I couldn't move. My legs couldn't move. I had paramedics over me and I had blood all around me. I was real concerned. My friend, I didn't have any idea how I looked. I wasn't tracking it. My friend was real bloody. I said, it's Sean, okay?

And again, as I said, my journey with you started really being a fan of what you were doing, but I was also inspired by the background that led to you to this experience because I'm interested in that some very challenging things led to this beautiful life. But there's others who could have had those things and it could have been crushing to them. And I find what you do to be an olive branch and give some skills to others to maybe choose the good life and not be defined by the challenges. And I think that's empowering to people. So I like that.”

I would see him in deals sometimes, like with a house transaction, and people put down money and it didn't go through. But my dad would always give him their money back. He was interesting that way. So I think people trusted him and felt comfortable with him in the long run. I think it really panned out for him because he He wasn't as focused on that stuff, but great sense of humor and good sense of humor about himself.

“My hair started to get lighter again, so we're turning back. But my parents. Both my parents came from single moms and both came from very economically challenged backgrounds. And so they really had a real aspiration to give a better opportunity to their kids. And so I was around a great work ethic. And I had an interesting journey in that originally we started off with very humble means and my father was very self-motivated and was very successful, started his own business and did very well. And then as I got older, we moved into a more fluent area and had exposure to public schools, but good schools and all of those kinds of things. I think it informed me where I had a work ethic and I didn't put a big focus on results, meaning finances were never a driving factor. Not that I was raised that you had to take care of yourself, but being good or working hard at something was valued. So I think I was fortunate to have”
