But and it was sort of like being on a basketball scholarship.

Like I went I had to audition for all the plays.

I really got benched.

I got to do a lot of theater.

Right.

And so that was maybe the beginning of being like, oh, people will give me money, like significant amounts of money to do this because it was helping to pay for my education.

But then halfway through college, I did this summer conservatory program at Michael Howard Studios in Chelsea in New York.

And that was the first time in my life that from the moment I woke up, you know, to the moment I went to bed, all I did was act.

There was no like hiding behind other classwork or

being an academic or it just was like, I was just an artist all day long, every day.

And I was so happy.

You loved it.

I was so happy.

Yeah.

And I was doing like clown work and improv and scene study and acting as a business class.

And I just was like, I couldn't get enough.

I wanted to sleep there at night.

I just, I was like, I, so I thought, okay,

I'm going to try to do this.

I gave myself one year after college and I was like, if I can get a significant job in this year, then I'll go for it.
