When I was a kid I wanted to be either a stunt man or a comedian. Then one day I learned from a supply PE teacher (who performed stunts in many big Hollywood productions, including Tim Burton's Batman) that there was more to the job than just falling off of things and surviving. The day he gave an assembly hall demonstration that involved gymnastics and at least three martial arts was the day my ambition to be part of that profession died, leaving comedy as my default choice.
So what was the seed of your desire to get involved in the business?
