I've been a paperboy, a short-order cook, a warehouse clerk, and, eventually, a partner at IBM.
Everyone in my family used to work with some kind of tool in their hands every day. That's what we do. That's what I did before I got into acting.
My father was a teacher and my mother also worked in the school, so the family has a background in education.
I don't think I've had a job since I worked for my father's construction company.
My employer was never at any time aware of anything in my past beyond the writing I did, because, frankly, it isn't relevant to the job I was asked to do, which was to be a reporter.
I was inspecting eyeglass lenses for a while. And I worked as a concession girl in a movie theater. And I was ironing before that. I always had some kind of a job. And then I started modeling.
I have not had any serious non-academic job.
The director of the [Grimm] pilot called me in. I had worked on a pilot called Love Bites with him, and the producers I worked on with on Hot In Cleveland, so they knew me from comedic worlds, and they wanted someone who could be light too. Because it is pretty heavy.
I never went to college. I started working when I was 17.
Prior to doing 'Marrowbone,' I'd done three projects, which were all American.
