Tony Shalhoub

I worked in the theater in Cambridge, Massachusetts for years and moved to New York and then to Los Angeles.

I've been so fortunate throughout my career, when I was doing theater - more theater than anything else - and when I was doing films, that I got a chance just to do a broad range of things.

You make certain assumptions as a parent. And you kind of think, at a certain point, you've figured things out. And then all of a sudden, that person that you raised and nurtured and thought that you knew is someone else completely.

I have two daughters.

I started out in the theater when I was a young actor, so I've always tried to move from one medium to the other.

I get the opportunity to play all different ethnicities and not get stereotyped or locked into one. It's been a tremendous advantage, I think.
