ADD QUOTES
- Terry: (About why he became an actor) I went to law school, I wanted to become a lawyer, and in the course of things I met a number of people in show business. Morris Carnovsky who was a well known name in theatre back those days, and Howard Da Silva I remember. They told me I should think about studying acting, because they felt I had some kind of potential.
