Pete Ploszek

Acting very quickly became a dream of mine, but the acting game privileges youth. It takes a while to build credits and, because of that, it's not the kind of career you can jump into in your 40s or 50s. The ship sets sail by then.

Working on a big-budget summer blockbuster with a built-in fan base is a dream come true for any actor.

I was very fortunate to be raised with an 'if not you, then who?' mentality, and I count my blessings every day to have the support of my family and especially my wife. She's got a front-row seat on the roller coaster.

It was a real sort of synergistic 'Aha!' moment when I started acting.
