Defiant Theatre

You met Amy Poehler, who plays Inda later in your career, but what could you tell me about breaking in from the stage to the screen? I know that this would go to your first two films of Going All the Way and City of Angels, but what could you tell me about that kind of road? Because not everybody makes it from stage to screen.

Just to clear up a little bit, a group of friends of my peers at the University of Illinois started the Defiant Theater together.

Because I'm the one that made it onto television, people often say, oh, it was your company.

But no, I was a happy laborer in the company.
