When I was growing up my parents never thought I would be an actor.

I had done some community theater plays and I just had so much fun doing it. I was a really shy kid growing up and it gave me a platform to be able to express myself in a way that I didn't feel comfortable doing yet in my own skin.

Of course there are moments for everyone, and certainly for me, where you do feel misunderstood. You feel like you can't really connect. You do feel like you're alone in something.

My family and my closest friends are my favorite things about being home.

My father was a great business leader and humanitarian who dedicated his life to the company and the community. He also was a wonderful family man, a loving husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. He will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him, yet he will continue to inspire us all.

My father was sick when I was little, and we had a woman, a nanny-type, who was from Ireland. Her daughter was in Irish dancing, so she put me in it, and in the summertime, every weekend was filled with traveling somewhere to dance in competitions.

I am an alcoholic. It took me a long time to admit that to myself. It took me a long time to admit it to my family, but I am.

I think, my first season on 'SNL,' I watched every single episode of 'Step by Step,' and a few years prior to that, I watched every single episode of 'Family Matters.'
