He Was a Basketball Star
He did his thing on the court after getting a basketball scholarship from St. Mary’s College in California. As he told GQ, his growing interest in acting took his attention away from basketball.
“It was about getting a basketball scholarship to a Division I school,” he said. “Once I got that, I didn’t set a realistic next goal on how to get to the NBA, which is perhaps for the best. I fell into acting. A teacher gave me an opportunity to be in a play and it came a little easy to me. “
