Yeah, yeah. And so we, yeah, and we ate. And then, you know, that's kind of where... And that was 2001. I'd only been in New York for one year. And then you go back, and I had thoughts of leaving. I'm like, well, I came there to be an actor, to pursue my dream. And I'm like, well, maybe I should leave. Maybe this is not what I want to do.

Yeah, for the most part. I mean, film and TV, like if you have no passion in theater, you're going to go to L.A. And if you have passion for theater, but both film and TV meccas, it's New York or L.A. Well, it was easy because my wife was going to grad school and we were just dating at the time. And she's, you know. I was ready to get out of Houston and I said, look, listen, I can't do this.

And if it doesn't work out, you know, we're in a city that we both want to be in, you know, we're not in, you know, Topeka, Kansas. And I said, yeah, sure. So she got accepted. She got a full ride to NYU.

My parents actually met in New York. So I thought, I'll just keep going east, you know, maybe east is my direction. And yeah, and so that's why we were in New York. And so... That happened.
