Nobody ever thought of me as dumb. They always knew me as cerebral, a thinking person. Educated and so on. But I was always given glamorous roles.

It took a while for people to realize I was acting.

There is always a place I can take someone’s curiosity and land where they end up enlightened when we’re done. That’s my challenge as an educator. No one is dumb who is curious. The people who don’t ask questions remain clueless throughout their lives.
They just kept grinning at me from over the stupid sign, Dopey because he’s too dumb to know any better, Doc because – well, I guess because he might have been glad to see me. Doc’s weird that way. Sleepy, the oldest, just stood there, looking … well, sleepy.

I have been primarily interested in how and why ordinary people do unusual things, things that seem alien to their natures. Why do good people sometimes act evil? Why do smart people sometimes do dumb or irrational things?
So it has come, the day of testing. Without warning, without fanfare, it is here, and he is in the middle of it. In his chest his heart hammers so hard that it too, in its dumb way, must know. How will they stand up to the testing, he and his heart?

TV deals in very broad strokes. Like, ‘Oh, that’s my dumb friend’, or, ‘That’s my funny friend.’ A true best friend, a sidekick, has to be a little deeper then that. You have to feel like there’s nothing either character won’t do. That someone really, really has their back.
