What made you go into making movies: Dumb luck, An actor doesn't really make that decision of his own accord.  I've been acting, or trying to, since I was 8 or 10 years-old, always in the theater.  I've got a great education and year of experience under my belt and the I just happened to be in the right place at the tight time when Jim Fall approached me with a little screen play entitled "trick" (formally "gay boy"),
