I pursued a theatre career, and Hollywood came calling.

For my first acting job I played the role of Ensign Pulver in 'Mr. Roberts' at the Manitoba Theatre Centre.

I was an actor for over a year before I ever saw a play.

My mother was a singer, and both of her sisters were singers. There was always music around.

When the opportunity came, it was a fantastic thing for myself and my family to do, I couldn't wait to put on a Bosnia shirt, and I haven't really looked back since.

Always I remember when I am young, I ask my mother, 'I really want to be a dress designer.' In that time, was quite difficult because, you know, my family always criticize me for it not to be a man's job.

I always saw my mother just making decisions that helped our family. It was much later when I realized how courageous she really was, and I came to understand what a risk-taker she was. That's very much a part of how I am.

I feel it's my responsibility to be able to take care of my family by living off the land. That's the ultimate goal for a man.
