Season 1, Ep. 5 - The old days: movies, acting, and being a quitter

(E)

I spent a long time never talking about my old life as an actor, because it made me feel weird. My life has been pretty different than most other people’s lives and sometimes that feels like of awkward. It can change how people see me, and how people treat me. But since Embrace Your Weird is my thing now, I’m answering all your questions about my old acting life - from how schooling works for kid actors, to my favorite scenes to film to what happened when I ruined one of the funniest moments in Mrs. Doubtfire.
