I just consider it one character out of many that I could play.
You know, when I was in college, Billy on the Street wasn't even I didn't even know what that was.
You know, that idea came along later in my 20s when I was a very serious student in acting class.
And I said I had this amazing teacher.
If you ask the kids at Northwestern who saw me performing, you know, what I was doing, I was doing Chekhov and Shakespeare and Angels in America and musicals.
I was in the musical theater program.
And it was so eclectic.
And I really took it seriously.
And I was doing scenes from, you know, Harold Pinter, Betrayal and, you know, what you do in acting class, you know.
That's the track that I thought I was on.
I remember, and I talk about this in the book, my acting teacher sat us down when I was in college and said, what actors...
You know, again, this is the late 90s, by the way.
So she said, what actors who have big careers now would you want to emulate?
You know, whose career would you want?
And I said, Kevin Kline.
And again, don't cancel me, Kevin Spacey, who at the time, you know, we didn't know about his personal stuff.
He was coming off of American Beauty and The Usual Suspects.
And also...
I grew up in New York City.
And what so much of the book is about is about how much theater my parents took me to see.
