He's wearing glasses, he's in a wheelchair, he's a computer genius. He's very far away from who I am, but I really wanted to play roles where I'd be taken seriously.” PeopleLittlesPlayCharacterWantedMotherFatherFeltRolesTakenGeniusComputerSmartMarkGlassesWho I AmFar AwaySmart PeopleVery SmartWheelchairs Author:Michael Weatherly
“I'm the type of person who is always going to be somewhat dissatisfied with myself. I'm never going to be smart enough. I'm never going to be a good enough father and husband. I'm never going to be a good enough actor for myself. I just never will be, and I have to get comfortable with waking up every day and trying to move some little increment closer to the person I have always dreamed of being.

“I did not come from an academic background. My father was a smart man, but he had a fifth-grade education. He and all his friends were plumbers.
