Lane Garrison Interview

by Nikki on July 6th, 2006

According to GuideLive.com - Lane Garrison hit the road for Hollywood right after graduating from Richardson’s J.J. Pearce High School.

“My friends threw me a going-away party and they all thought I was crazy not going to college,” he says of heading west on his own with just $400 to his name. “I grew up pretty much coming from nothing.”

He had taken some theater classes in high school but devoted most of his out-of-class time to Pearce’s football and wrestling teams.

The sweet smells of success can be bittersweet, too. Mr. Garrison’s mother, Lisa, died in 2000, and his father, Lee, in 2004. They’re memorialized in a tattoo on his left shoulder. “Coming home obviously conjures up a lot of stuff for me, a lot of memories,” he says. “It’s great being here, but it’s also difficult. You try to use it in the work.”

In real life, he’s shown that just about anything’s possible. “I’m proof to other kids that you can have that dream if you go after it with all of your guts and your instincts.”

“I didn’t really have time to be in any plays, but I always knew that acting was what I wanted to do,” he says.
