When I was two days old, I was abandoned on a train in Seoul, Korea. An obnoxiously loving, yet crass Italian family adopted and raised me in Bethlehem, PA, where people thought I couldn't see when I laughed. Such torture gave rise to a big voice as a performer on Broadway and humor as a writer. Lucky for me cause I'd suck at picking rice.
