My true interest for acting began in a theater class in Middle School. We had to perform a selection from a series of monologues about the L.A. riots. Pretty heavy stuff for a teenager, it being in recent memory and all. I performed it and at the end, I realized I had yelled out one particular line "Mother F*cker" on stage, in front of my classmates and teacher, and did not get in trouble for it. That's when I knew.
