“I was in school with Ginnifer; she's a couple of years younger than I am. She's super sweet. She told me I gave her a pep talk once, even though I can't remember it. And Chiklis, I love The Shield, he's so good. When I was in school, he came to speak to us about acting and told this story about how he had As You Like It on his resume; and a casting director asked if it were a soap opera. The casting guy said, 'ABC? NBC?' and Chiklis said, "No, Shakespeare." I'll never forget it.”
