My brother had been an actor when he was young, and it sort of felt like a family affair thing because everybody had their jobs that they had to do.
My mom was a single mom.
And so with four kids, raising four kids, if one of us went and did a TV show, then somebody had to, you know, make sure that everybody got off at the bus station and, you know, have dinner and all that stuff.
Yeah, that was an unusual move.
And I think we all assumed that my career would be over.
So my mom actually sold her house and moved into a tiny condo and was like, okay, now we're ready.
Because by the time you're 18 and you're going to go to college, you're going to spend every cent that we have sending you to college and you'll probably never work again.
I did end up doing five movies while I was in college.
So I worked during the summer and then I took a semester off, a couple semesters off.
So I did do five movies while I was there.
What was your major?
I majored in literature, the literature major, which is, you know, lots of theories of literature.
Yeah.
And the area of focus was African-American literature.
It's whatever you were doing between the ages of 17 and 22.
Those years are really formative.
And maybe if you were in, I don't know, you went to Rwanda.
and spent three or four years working in a small town, like that would be an extraordinary formative experience.
So it's just about that formation.
And for me, obviously us that have had these great experiences with education, so much of it, yes, is about what you learn, but a lot of it is about the connections that you made with people that taught you how to be a good friend.
