Jack Tells Why He Became an Actor

  

Pride of accomplishment is what’s important to me. Setting a goal and obtaining it has been my most powerful motivation. …I wanted a shot at the brass ring. Unlike a corporate job, acting’s an individual thing. …you’re on your own, rolling the big dice. I’m an actor because I love to act. It’s the love that comes over the footlights, creating the illusion of reality. …it’s coming alive under imaginary circumstances. It’s the ability to react spontaneously moment by moment.
