After attending the Virginia Military Institute for about two years, I enrolled at the University of Texas at Austin. My family had all gone there, and I majored in philosophy, history, and economics — one for each year. I finally opted for the Plan II program and then got into the law school. I did that for a year and a half, but I didn’t break any records. I don’t think I passed more than two courses because I didn’t go to class very often. I was too busy playing Ping-Pong at the Phi Delta Theta house and calling girls. I was still living in Austin when Zachary Scott, who was an old friend of my first wife’s, came over to our apartment for a drink. Believe it or not, I was smitten with becoming an actor just from that meeting. It sounds superficial — and I guess it is — but I’m very glad that it happened. The next day, I was on a plane to New York.
Some of my favorite movies as a kid.
I don't think he finished, but he went to the law school so I'm assuming he posted here.
