... when I was young, like 2 years old, I always wanted a job. I used to go places with my mom and cry because I wanted to work wherever we went.

In your next project, The Plot Against America, you’ll be playing Seldon Wishnow. Tell us a bit about your character.

Seldon is very smart but quiet and doesn’t have a lot of friends. He considers his best friend to be Philip, but Philip doesn’t necessarily like Seldon. I’m not sure that Seldon realizes that Philip doesn’t like him, but that doesn’t stop Seldon from always trying to play with him. Seldon likes chess. Also, Seldon doesn’t seem to be aware of what’s going on around him in his family or the world but at the same time, it’s hard to tell. You’ll see as you watch that Seldon has a hard life.
