OK, that's who they want.
I acknowledge that.
Then I went to college as a pre-law so that I would take over my dad's store.
Frank Galati, a very well-known Chicago theater maven at the Goodman at Steppenwolf and a teacher at Northwestern.
So when I...
got his advice, he said, look, go be a producer and so you get to be in show business, but your business, I go, no, it's either I'm an actor or I'm a rich jeweler.
And I said, he said, well, you're not going to get famous or get known until you're in your 30s when you sort of grow into who you are.
Did I believe him?
Terry, I wish that I could say this is what I chose to do.
All I did was say yes to whatever was presented and my path was created by that.
I didn't set out to join Second City.
I went to some place in Chicago, Practical Theater Company.
They saw me and said, do you want to do Second City?
I said, yeah, well, Second City taught me a lot.
Four and a half years, all of that way station of waiting for roles and waiting for roles was spent on stage and getting paid and developing into the actor who I was in front of 400 people a night.
Well, okay.
My dad didn't trust me with the beautiful jewels or the expensive stuff.
I sold lighters and sterling silver keychains and the pens and stuff like that, maybe candelabras, but I didn't sell the expensive stuff.
And I was no good.
I was a good salesman.
