I actually do my own renovations. I designed and built a 100-foot split-cedar rail fence to enclose my property. It was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. Don’t recommend doing it alone. I also built a 100-square-foot back porch. Again, don’t recommend doing it alone.

I don’t think an actor’s job is to be recognized. I think an actor’s job is to facilitate the writing in a way that changes the way people think. No other business does that.
