[on his role as Charles Gunn on "Angel":] "What`s ironic is that I don`t think race ultimately had anything to do with me getting the part. When I auditioned, I heard that they were looking at white guys, Latino guys, Asian guys, so they didn`t know where...
J. August Richards

It`s been certainly more than a job, it`s been giving me a charmed life, ... If I could`ve dreamt what the outcome of my career would`ve been when I`d auditioned 20 years ago, you know, I would have never believed it. It`s just given me the greatest bless...
Julie Kent
If I said to most of the people who auditioned, `Good job, awesome, well done,` it would have made me actually look and feel ridiculous. It`s quite obvious most of the people who turned up for this audition were hopeless.

I started acting when I was 13 in New York. Worked there for a couple years, then auditioned for a show there that was going to be filming here. Ended up coming out, getting the job and just staying.
