【视频内容】

Something that has inspired me for many years is the Martin Luther King, Jr. quote which is “Everybody can be great because everybody can serve.” And being of service is, I think our greatness.

Well, I went to the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia and when I graduated I always knew that I wanted to go acting school after college, and that was kind of my deal with my parents. I would go to college and then I could go to acting school, which I did.

When I first moved to Los Angeles, it was the early nineties, struggling, like most of my friends were at that time.

I also felt really strongly that I wanted to get involved in something in my community because I felt really disconnected.

There were two guys who had a similar desire and a great idea for a project and the three of us did it and it was called voices…we called it voices in Harmony and we designed and worked with at-risk teens on a mentoring theatre program.
You know, then I got the “West Wing” and continued to do voices in Harmony through that entire time.
And, one summer, I went to South Africa and volunteered and, as a result, I had the opportunity to go to somewhere else too, through International Medical Corps, and I choose to go to Northern Uganda because I’ve been working with teens and there was a child soldier issue.
And I think that experience opened my eyes to the effects of war on communities, I get emotional thinking about it, but that really inspired me to feel like we actually have the ability to make change, all of us do if we work together.
