'The Secret Garden' was the first musical that I fell in love with when I was a kid. My mom took me to see it, and it was the first one that I owned the soundtrack to and listened to over and over again. Allison Tolman fallgardenkid share on social
I moved to Chicago when I was 28, and I wasn't completely idealistic about going to Second City and making a living from comedy, but I knew it would be great for the resume. Allison Tolman chicagocitycomedy Change image and share on social

I've always had a day job and never been just acting. Allison Tolman actdayhave Change image and share on social
The best thing I ever learned when I first started acting is that you audition, and then you forget about it when you walk out the door. Even when you have a callback, you can't bank on things until you actually book that job, or your heart will just be broken over and over again. Allison Tolman actauditionbank share on social
I taped my original audition for 'Fargo' with my agency in Chicago, Stewart Talent. Allison Tolman agencyauditionchicago Change image and share on social
Maybe to my own detriment, but I watched all of 'Fargo' probably more than once. And I tend to be a little critical of myself. But I can also let things go. So I can think, 'Well, that moment didn't read as well as I thought it would,' but it doesn't keep me up at night. Allison Tolman criticaldetrimentfargo share on social
I never really acted full-time. I certainly had gotten past the point where fame and fortune was something that I was dreaming about or anticipating. Allison Tolman actanticipatedream Change image and share on social
