To Think One Film Makes A Career

David Fincher Is A Longtime Friend. As A Director, My Wife Had Worked With Him As A Makeup Artist When He Would Do Madonna Videos Years Before, And His Child And My Oldest Child Were In Preschool Together, So We're Kind Of Dad-friends Through That, Too.

I Did Tons Of Theater In School, And Then When I Was 16 And Got My Driver's License, I Started Driving To Los Angeles, Along With My Friend Eric Stoltz, Who Was A Year Ahead Of Me And Was Doing The Same Thing. So We Had The Same Manager, And We Started Auditioning For Things And Doing Commercials When We Were 16.

So I Was Hugely Thrilled That My First Scene Ever On Camera Was With Hal Holbrook.
