Michael Pena Quotes
"I was working at a bank and my best friend’s Mom said I should be an actor but I was making pretty good cash for a 17 year old, so I didn’t take it seriously. Then she told me to go to an open call. I went and I booked the movie and I was like that’s pretty cool! So I went to Los Angeles right after that movie role and started booking work."2
"I was born and raised in Chicago. It was a joy living there and hanging out with all my friends, all of who were from extremely different classes. I went to prep school so there were poor kids and rich kids. I was one of the poor kids, well not so poor, not like oh woe is me, but that is just the way it was."2
