Mackenzie Astin

I used to get some flack from my agents because I wouldn't even audition for parts where the hero uses violent force to be a hero.

I technically have two last names, which is a lot of fun when you're making airline reservations.

It is tough to say what has influenced me the most because I know that Mozart makes me think better, but you cannot beat Dave Matthews for feeling good!

I studied international relations and economics at the University of Virginia. I paid my way by working as a bartender in the summer and at three part-time jobs during the year.

My first career ambitions involved turning into a boy; I intended to be either a railway guard or a knight errant.

I broke with my religion in college.
