I thought, eh, I don't know.

Five, six, seven, eight.

Ba-na-na-na-na-na.

Yeah, well, first I went to college, Jason.

Here's what happened.

I went to the voluntary additional school, and they had a theater program, but they also had a baseball team.

And I didn't make the baseball team, and I thought, oh, well, I'll go join the theater club.

And then I just got hooked.

I was like, I like doing the plays, and it seems to... Was this school in New York?

This school was in northern Massachusetts called Merrimack College, and you could get in if you had a pulse.

And they let me in, and...

Yeah, I did all that crap.

Um, you know, you get the village voice and you're looking through all those things.

I had a really lucky break when I was in college.

Uh, there was, there was a guy there named John Foosman and he was like one of those guys who was like 35 and in college and, uh.

Yeah.

And he had tipped me off to a place called the Williamstown Theater Festival.

And I went there to sort of, you know, empty garbage cans and maybe say one line in a play and just intern.

And they had like a program where you could audition and be part of a non-equity group.

And after my first summer there, I was still in college.
