Quote by Michael Shannon
One of the reasons Im an actor is because I was no physical specim

One of the reasons Im an actor is because I was no physical specimen as a child. I wasnt athletic and didnt have any prowess in that regard. Growing up in Kentucky, most little boys were trying to get into sports, and it was very competitive, so that was not to be. But I did want to do something. – Michael Shannon
