One of the perks of being an actor is to get to meet athletes that you respect. Especially who played before my time. Brooks Robinson is one of those athletes; they just don't make them any nicer.

I never considered a career in broadcasting, not even as a kid.

I grew up in Baltimore. And yes, I am a big sports fan, especially when it comes to my local teams.

I am a lefty, though I bat right-handed... When I was a kid I pitched, played first, outfield and shortstop as well. Now it's mainly softball with some friends.
