of becoming an actor, while his family encouraged him to enter the
hotel business or any other profession that would actually enable him
to make a living. Perhaps his first `big break' was in Des Moines,

bustling family life with the Muelhaupt family who quickly embraced

Bowling Green, Kentucky, where he was accepted into Western Kentucky
