“I've had plenty of crappy jobs, but the only job I've ever really dedicated myse…” — Dax Shepard

I was 20 when I moved to Los Angeles. I went on probably 600 commercial auditions and couldn't book any of them.

We were doing press for this movie that my friends and I made for $5,000 called 'Brothers Justice,' that I also wrote and directed. And during the press of that, people kept saying, 'What's next, what's next?' And my best friend Nate and I - Nate produced it - we kept saying, 'Oh, we're gonna do a car-chase movie next.'

I was brought home to a trailer in Highland, MI.

What's great about TV, and what I love about being on 'Parenthood,' is you have this family. I'm now going on four years of working with the same 100 people, and that helps you feel like your life has more roots. It's more conducive to having a family, and you're staying in town. So that part is amazing.
