 Well, I grew up in Russellville, Alabama, which is a really, really small town in the top northwest corner of the state. I decided to go to the University of Alabama because I had decided pretty late in the game when I was about 16 that I wanted to be an actor, that was the calling on my life. So I was looking at schools, I was doing a bunch of research, and I realized that the University of Alabama had one of the best theater departments. I said, well that's where I need to go, and I auditioned to get a scholarship for the theater department. I ended up getting an academic scholarship as well, and that's how it came to be. Me, you know, on the computer trying to find the best place to go, and I found this gym.
