I was in a hit Broadway show, Romance Romance and I decided that it was time to stop, time to go back to LA, and my family had left in August and everybody in New York was like, “You’re crazy. You’re the star of a Broadway show, you’re Tony nominated, you can’t leave!” and I said, “Well, I need to go back to LA.” And for whatever reason, 4 weeks after I got back to LA, the Quantum Leap audition came across my door.
