Some of the traits that make you a great entrepreneur also work against you.

Tisch has a great film program and a great acting program, but they are segregated; you don't really intertwine. My peers knew I liked acting, so they'd be like, 'Go get that guy Gubler.

As an actor, you know when you've got great material in front of you. When you're working, you think, 'Is this the one? The one that everyone will respond to and be moved by?' You pray that you have told the story well... that your peers will see it and audiences will love it.

He's going to be targeted just with who he is. You have to earn the respect of your peers around the league when you're that young. He's awfully mature for his age, but at the same time, he's 18.
