I actually did start performing at a young age and yes, I did do stand-up when I was 9. I did seem to know that I wanted to act very early in my life.
I am a lefty, though I bat right-handed... When I was a kid I pitched, played first, outfield and shortstop as well. Now it's mainly softball with some friends.
I grew up in Baltimore. And yes, I am a big sports fan, especially when it comes to my local teams.
I never considered a career in broadcasting, not even as a kid.
I went to the final World Series game in 1979 with my grandmother and froze my butt off while Willie Stargell and the boys broke my heart.
One of the perks of being an actor is to get to meet athletes that you respect. Especially who played before my time. Brooks Robinson is one of those athletes; they just don't make them any nicer.
