Um, and, uh, and, but I felt like I was, I was on a path and learning and, and just totally inspired and, and had moments.

Cause you don't always have these, like, and especially with acting, it's like, you know, you're up on, it's always like this, this didn't go well or that, that felt weird.

And every once in a while you get a moment where you, especially early on where like it drops in and it works and you go, whoa, this is why I'm doing it.

yeah and like that's it and I was totally out of my head and it wasn't thinking about the thing and I did enough work where you drop into it and you're in it and it's great and so I it gave me enough of fuel to be like this is what I want but that's all you need for learning right that yeah like that this is the learning that you want where you're inspired to do it don't have me learn the way that you teach everybody else

Well, also, like I just never was I never had that experience with anything else in my life where I was like, I want to do this.

This fills me in a way that I this connects with me in a way that nothing else does.

And so went out and chased it as hard as I could.

And, you know, was fortunate, I guess, for a while, probably like in my mid twenties where I started to actually audition for things.

And there was a run torn towards the end of my twenties where I was just getting really close on everything where

I would it would be like down to me and another guy or just the producers would be like we only want him and it was and it just kept happening over and over and over and over again but not working out so but 10 to 12 years you're just getting bit parts or you're not even getting bit part a few bit parts here and there um

And then just never connecting on anything that felt, you know, substantial or real, like you never, you want to be a part of the show as opposed to, you know, you come in for a day on the show.

And I was doing like a day here and there, a few days here and there, um, and had some like really wonderful advocates early on, but it just didn't, it didn't feel like it was ever going to click.

Yeah.

I was kind of messing around for a really long time.

The spin classes were great because it was my friend Andrea's gym, and she allowed me to use the gym for free if I taught the spin classes.

So I didn't even get paid for those, but I was like, she let me come to the gym.

To be fair, I was not aware that they were opioids.

It was a box and I would take that.

It may not have been opioids.

I don't know what it was.
