DA: How was childhood and growing up for you guys? R & M:
Growing up was fun and competitive. There are four boys in our house, so it was never a dull time. We don’t know how our Mom handled it. she deserves many accolades. We grew up in a very rural part of New york state. so, most of the time we would just be off in the countryside running around and managing not to kill ourselves with all the shenanigans we did.
besides being reunited with “Godless” alum, the most memorable would be filming in the FriedrichstadtPalast where we shot the Mexico City tournament. The architecture of the building was breathtaking. being able to live abroad in Germany while filming for three months also made the entire experience something we’ll never forget.
i was in a rut living in upstate New york. i had a passion for acting, but didn’t know where to go or what to do. There aren’t many artistic outlets in the rural countryside. a good friend of ours was attending an acting conservatory in NyC and convinced me to audition. i auditioned, was accepted and hastily made the decision to drop everything and move to NyC. i packed a couple bags and made the leap of faith.
i had been thinking about moving to NyC for a while. i was interested in acting and modeling, but there weren’t many opportunities for it in our hometown. Randomly, one day Russ called and said that his roommate was moving and asked if i would ever consider moving there. Four days later i was packed up and on to my adventures in NyC.
