Do you think I ought to give it a shot?” He said, “Well, as long as you’re continuing your schooling, okay, go ahead.” He said, “Well, why don’t you see about getting some training and then come look me up?” So, I get back to Fort Irwin, I call my dad, I said, “Dad, this guy came back, da da da da. And I said, “I ain’t never done a thing in my life.” I had that southern accent.
He was in charge of casting at Universal. I didn’t get it, but backstage, I’m approached by this guy, and he said, “Have you ever thought about getting into acting?” He introduced himself. I go in and say, “Which one of you guys sent my name?” They said, “Oh, lieutenant, you’ve got to go.” Anyway, I was a medical supply officer and later, I’m stationed in Southern California, in charge of the hospital at Fort Irwin.Īnyway, one day I get a postcard in the mail that says, “We’d like to see you for an interview.” It was The Dating Game.

I knew I was not going to go in as a grunt, so I took ROTC because I wanted to go in as an officer.

My major was Biology, minored in Physics and Chemistry, could’ve triple minored in Psychology and if you’d have told me I was going to be an actor in my life, I’d have said you’re a damn fool. My dad was a neurosurgeon and I was in pre-med at the University of Alabama. JB: I never thought I was going to be an actor when I was in college.
