Matt Keeslar: The hierarchy in Hollywood is based on fame, and that's why young actors get so depressed--they can't feel good about themselves unless they're famous.
Matt Keeslar: I have no idea why [Juilliard] took me–my audition was horrible. I did Edmund's speech during the mad scene in King Lear. I'd never seen anybody do it or anything like it. I didn't even know people did Shakespeare for real until I saw Albert Finney in The Dresser. That movie was a big influence on me.
Matt:(On choosing film and TV over theater) Maybe I've been avoiding it. It's really hard to say: Do you choose or do they choose? I've not been a really successful television of film actor for whatever reason, either because of my own personal integrity or because I just can't do it. It can be so hard to work under those circumstances -- the corporate politics and all that.
