Actor Quote by Giovanni Ribisi

“My mother told me I was begging her to be an actor when I was four. My father and my grandfather saw at least one or two movies a week; they were film buffs, so I guess it just rubbed off on me. And now it's kind of become a way of life for me.” quote by Giovanni Ribisi
