The first thing I did on my diet was take the batteries out of the remote control and make myself get up and change the channel. That's probably the hardest exercise I did. Stephen Furst batterychangechannel Change image and share on social
I went to high school in Virginia Beach, Va., and we had these guys - they were surfers. They didn't like me, never talked to me. And if they didn't like you, they threw toothpicks at you.

So, pretty soon I'm pretending to forget things backstage, going through the lobby a couple of times. Stephen Furst actorbackstagecouple share on social

I remember I made $22 a week doing dinner theater in Norfolk, Virginia. Back then, in the '70s, that was pretty good for a teenager, for a part-time job. Stephen Furst 70sbackdinner Change image and share on social
