Zitat des Tages von Dan Amboyer:
I don't really get nervous about the people I'll audition for, especially if it's people I admire and want to work with: it actually makes me more excited.
Growing up, I was the awkward, chubby kid. I had a few close friends, but I was the first one to be bullied.
When you're the guy inside of a character and you've lived with it for almost two years, you're always a bit defensive about the character, and you want to root for the character you're playing.
Being a young actor in the industry, I had a lot of people who strongly advised me to stay quiet. That was hard to live with. But I've never played a gay role before, and I didn't want to be limited by some strange perception.
What I love about working on 'Younger' is that it combines some of my favorite elements of both theatre and film.
Clarity is so important for Shakespeare.
I don't know anything about being a royal child. But I have played Shakespearian kings.
I really love the TV thing because it's a little of the best of all worlds. You have a sense of a family and work with the same people over the seasons.
I want to live my life moving forward with integrity and pride.
I'm from the Detroit area, just north of Detroit. But then I went to boarding school in northern Michigan, so a little bit colder up there. But beautiful, very beautiful.
I am one of four, so I have two sisters and a brother, and I'm the youngest.
I was extremely shy, but since college, I think I have opened up and gained confidence. I find it much easier to make friends, I let myself go a bit more.
No amount of gym time will make you feel beautiful if you don't feel it on the inside.
Middle school left some scars, as I'm sure it did for many of us. When my body started to change, I felt a bit like I was living inside a stranger. People began responding to me differently, which was confusing.
New York has everything, so you can do anything.
Theatre is all about the process and the sense of community that is created. You have weeks of rehearsal, time to explore your character and get to know the other actors. There is opportunity to try off-the-wall ideas, to find layers and nuance over weeks. You become like a second family with your cast.
I grew up in Michigan and - where to start? I mean, my dad was a doctor who worked at a jail. He was more like a jail administrator. My mom was a public school teacher. There's no artists in my family whatsoever.
When you're coming up in the business, there are so many people giving you advice and people prepping you for interviews: what to say, what not to say. When you don't know the business, you kind of take all that on and say, 'This is what I need to do, and I need to do what people tell me to do.'
I've learned that no matter what shape you get your body into, if you don't get your head right, you're not going to feel good about yourself.
I'm from Detroit, so not exactly Buckingham Palace.
