How did you get your start in the entertainment industry?
I started out as a child actor. I did a lot of commercials and guest spots on TV shows. When I was 18, I moved to Los Angeles to pursue acting full time. Shortly after arriving, I landed a recurring role on the ABC sitcom Boy Meets World. The show ran for seven seasons from 1993-2000 and became one of my favorite jobs ever.
