I got hurt when I was 19. They thought I broke my neck. I couldn't move my hands or feet, and I had a very bad experience.
I would consider my dad a pretty patient guy, but there was no tolerance for spoiled behavior.
In hockey, there are no second chances, but the great thing about acting is that there actually are. If you do a scene and you think you can do better - take two!
I played professional hockey in Europe. I played in the German third league and the Dutch elite league.
