My first paid acting gig, I played a cheerleader.
I think I was like cheerleader number two.
In an ABC after school special called My Special Angel.
I may have done a PSA or something before that.
So, really, the reason I came up with that idea was because I love producing.
I fell in love with producing at Scandal, and the first film I produced was a film called Confirmation for HBO, where I played Anita Hill.
And then I fell in love with it.
And so they came to me to do this play on Broadway, the producers.
And I said, sure, I'll be in it if I can help produce.
But on Broadway, producing really just means finding money.
You get to be a creative producer as well.
But I was like, oh, I don't do the financing thing.
