My first movie role was a supporting performance in a Canadian film called 'Final Lady.' It was a great opportunity for me at the time.
I didn't grow up as child actor.
I started doing movies when I was 14.
When I made my debut as an actor in 'Rock On!' I was confident to get in front of the camera.
My first acting role as a kid was on 'Freaks and Geeks.'
I'm acting in a new show on NBC with Kristen Bell and Ted Danson, which is definitely the scariest thing I've ever done.
When I was about five, I could do a vaguely decent American accent - straight through kind of decent - and 'Hercules' needed some kids. I definitely wasn't a good actor.
When I started as a child actor, my father didn't tell me anything.
I was an actor who happened to be a kid.
My father was just 9 when he started as a child actor in 'Afsana.'
Olivia Newton-John was our first choice to play Sandy, but she was nervous about acting, whether she would feel comfortable with us and could pull it off at all.
The first time that I performed as an actor was the first day on the set of 'The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.'
I was in my first movie when I was five. I just loved to entertain and put on a show.
Being in front of the camera was like coming home. The first time I saw myself on the big screen, it was in a trailer for 'The New Guy', and I just started screaming.
I was cast in a film toward the end of high school. Even then, I wasn't sure.
My first professional acting role was a small part in a television series called 'The Wizard.' I later had the opportunity to work on Michael Jackson's Moon-walker music video.
When I was 17, I had a small part in the movie 'Election,' which shot in Omaha, Nebraska. I was really naive at the time; I really didn't know what a big deal it was.
The first film I was in was called 'Straight Time.' I was five-years old, and I was playing my father's son.
I was never a child actor. I was a child performer.
I honestly don't even know how I got into acting. It happened so quickly because my mom and sister used to do commercials, and apparently when I was little I would unbuckle myself from the stroller and crash their auditions.
I wasn't a child actor. It was just three weeks of my life when I was eight.
I was scouted at the age of 10 by a Hollywood agent. I was a really shy, geeky-looking thing, and started in the industry by doing 'extra' work on films.
Being an actor only came about because Arnaud Desplechin, the guy who did 'Kings and Queen', had this curious idea to think that I could be an actor, but I had never acted before, and I was supposed to direct my own film!
I played Winnie Cooper on 'The Wonder Years' from ages 12-18, and did a few other movies during some of the summers.
I got started as an actor when I was 12.
