How did that transition happen?

I don't know how it came to be to this kind of level, but I love species and all animals and natural history.

And through meeting Josh, I've learned about identification of species and subspecies.

And by the way, for our listeners, Josh is the publisher of Permanent Record Magazine.

But go ahead.

I've just enjoyed the process of being able to collect them.

And I've also gone to museums like the Museum of Natural History in New York City.

When I was acting for many years, I'd always pop in there, as well as the Metropolitan.

So, you know, when you're in New York City, you get to see all these wonderful places.

Was there a specific reason why you retired from acting and you decided to start collecting? Or was it a transition or one had nothing to do with the other? I'm really trying to understand this because these are such disparate things, disparate interests.

Well, you know, a lot of actors today are very involved in marine conservation.

They're very involved in conservation of animals or whatever their causes are.

So it all ties together with conservation.

I kind of gave up on the audition and the acting because I live an hour and a half from the city.

So there came a time where I was no longer able to book the jobs and work because I had to be close to the city at, you know, a moment's notice.

You know, in those days you had to go there.

Maybe today you do Zoom meetings, you know, but things have changed when I was working.

when I was doing it.

So I decided to get out of it.

And I would have loved to have continued.

But I because of my life, I had to manage my properties here with my family.

And I said, I can't just go down all the time, you know.

And so I sadly gave up on it.

I regret it.

Because this is like the 90s, right?
