“Quite honestly I never had a desire to be an actor. I tell people, I did not choose acting; acting chose me. I never grew up wanting to be an actor. I wanted to play football.

“I've been playing videogames since before my career in this business, but what happened is several videogame companies were recruiting students back then and I applied with barely any hope of getting accepted to any of the companies. However, I got accepted! Although my path was already set to become a piano instructor, I chose the path of videogames instead. My parents cried, my friends were worried and my teacher was stunned (we're talking about way back when game music wasn't as popular as it is these days).” WayGamesParentCompanyTalkingCareersPathTeacherHappenedStudentsMy FriendsAcceptedWorriedThese DaysPianoCriedBack WhenStunnedInstructorsVideogameWay Back When Author:Yoko Shimomura
