He got an agent straight out of high school starting in the business by

He began studying the craft of acting extensively with famous top film
acting coach
Charles Conrad, in
the Meisner Method of acting. Conrad called him "a natural".
He next studied under

the well-respected acting workshop James Best Theatre Center, where the
primary purpose was to teach actors how to act for motion picture and
television camera. It was there he met
Gerald McRaney who encouraged him to
take classes with the legendary famed actor/teacher

and was immediately accepted into his Professional Actors Workshop
where Corey taught the Stanislavski Method technique. (Jeff Corey and
