American - Actor
Born: August 1, 1963

I knew I wanted to be an actor, and I didn't necessarily need or want to be famous or a celebrity actor. But I wanted to be somewhere where there would be no ceiling on what I could accomplish, and I felt like if I stayed in St. Louis I might have a really great regional theater career or something, but that I wasn't going to be able to get much further than that. And it felt like New York and L.A. were the two places where you could end up being a TV star or you could end up doing regional theater, which would have been fine as well.

Jenna Fischer

It's not like I had big dreams to go to California and become an actor. I loved doing my shows at school and community theater, and I probably would have settled in New York because it was closer. I was going to go to NYU.

Christine Taylor

I started working in New York City as an actor and did many plays. I did regional theater, smaller theaters, children's theater.

Christopher Guest

After school, I was planning to jump from regional theater to regional theater.

Timothy Simons

I grew up in a theater family. My father was a regional theater classical repertory producer. He created Shakespeare festivals. He produced all of Shakespeare's plays, mostly in Shakespeare festivals in Ohio. One of them, the Great Lakes Theater Festival in Cleveland, is still going. So I grew up not wanting to be an actor, not wanting to go into the family business.

John Lithgow

Arnaud Desplechin invented me as an actor. I never imagined I'd be acting in movies.

Mathieu Amalric

Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined that I would become the Bachelorette.

Andi Dorfman

Arnaud Desplechin invented me as an actor. I never imagined Id be acting in movies.

Mathieu Amalric

I never thought about becoming an actor. Even when I applied for university, I didn't choose theater as a major to become an actor.

Gong Yoo

I would not change very much about the American theater. I marvel and rejoice in the way the country's regional theaters have formed a network that has become, in essence, our National Theater.

Ken Ludwig

I became an actor kind of by accident. I was in musical theater and I got a job as an actor in a play and kept going. But I never set out to be an actor; it happened over time.

Christopher Walken

I never imagined myself in films. My benchmarks were performances I saw in the theater.

Bill Pullman

There has been a stigma around letting movies be seen on home screens on the same day as theatrical screens. Universal said they were going to do it with 'Tower Heist,' but they backed off when challenged by the theater owners. I understand where the theater owners are coming from on big studio movies.

Jay Chandrasekhar

I am a lucky regional theater actor who happened to get a good role.

James Marsters

I was completely naive about the business of being an actor. My family didn't go to the theater or to the movies. We watched television like every 1960s small-town American family, and I certainly never thought about being on TV. I thought I was going to be a classical actor in the grand tradition.

Frances McDormand

I think people want to stay home and run movies with their whole family at home. It become a family hobby instead of going out to the theater, sad to say. But I think it's very good because it reaches millions that would never see these movies.
