But many of the actors I've met have had similar backgrounds in their lives by moving around.
But I have to say that it worked out for me in a way that made me feel like I was always constantly striving to find a place that was home.
And it turned out to be home was where I was, wherever that was.
It would have been when I lived in Holland and we'd take our holidays to the UK and London.
I first started seeing plays on the West End there in musicals.
I think one of the very first musicals I saw was
Oliver, which is seeing a revival right now in London.
I hope I'm there in time to catch it.
I went to a boys boarding school in Toronto, and I was not a very good student.
It's not because I was
uneducated or dim or didn't understand, it's because I didn't have consistency in curriculum.
The other boys that I went to school with had all been there through the same system continuously.
Mine was disjointed and all over the place.
So I did struggle academically a great deal.
And it gave me
intense insecurity.
Certainly mathematics did.
That was a language that gave me anxiety and genuine, like I'm stammering, genuine fear because of what was expected.
Do you remember that turn for you?
