What’s the most fun you’ve had acting?

“When I was on The White Shadow in high school. That was the best. It was a hit show in the late 70s. It was something that all my friends watched. I was on and all my teammates. We were the opposing team in one of the episodes. It was just fun. You were 16, 17 years old. To be able to do that was really cool.”

How did that come about?

“One of my friend’s father was college basketball coach Dick Baker. He recently retired as a scout for the Dallas Mavericks. He was the technical consultant on the show. He plugged us in as the opposing team.”
