In The Beginning

Taylor played football in high school and then went to play at Dartmouth. He received a scholarship to the University of Denver law school following college.

Change of Plans
After graduating from law school, Taylor was planning on taking a year off to work on the Alaska Pipeline. However, he stopped in Los Angeles on his way to Alaska and was offered a job as a manager at Westwood Village Bratskellar. After a year of working there, he decided to give up his law career and pursue acting full time.
