Milestones
My road in life has been direct.
Grew up in rural England where "you had a predetermined path."
His parents couldn't afford to send him to college, which was common in his town.
Wanted to go into entertainment but his parents weren't supportive, the industry wasn't doing well in England.
Worked as an extra, says "you did whatever you had to do to make a living."
Knew he had to go to the U.S. if he wanted any modicum of success; moved to Los Angeles with no friends and no money.
Got a speaking role on a big-budget Mutant Ninja Turtles movie; realized "this is a heck of a long way from milking a cow on an English farm."
Says you have to never forget where you started and how much you owe to the people who helped you get to where you are.
Stresses that everyone only has 24 hours in a day; what you do with your time determines if you leave "a little tiny footprint, or no footprint at all."
