I don't think it's that strange that a show has sort of a bumpy beginning. It's just part and parcel of the process.
I believe there are three keys to success. For me it is keeping my priorities in order: It's my faith and my family, and then the business.
I'm probably one of the worst actors as far as preparation goes, because I actually don't prepare. I find it easier to read the script and whatever hits me in my stomach, like deep down, I just go with it. And the director kind of molds me whether to go right or left with it.
