“I went with my dad to Jets camp at Hofstra University – where I ended up going to school – and Beau was talking about this drama program at Hofstra and I’m thinking, ‘That’s the last thing I’m going to do, I’m going to be a senator.’ But, my brother told me, ‘Jocks are out, musicians and actors meet women.’ He told me, ‘If you’re any good you get a scholarship after the first year’ – and I did. It was tremendous; I got to do classical theatre, musicals – all sorts of things.”
