Los Angeles, Nov 26 (IANS): Actor Thomas Haden Church says for him "acting was all by osmosis".

Haden Church is an actor, director and writer who is widely known for his role as "Spider-Man 3" villain ‘Sandman'. He also starred in "We Bought A Zoo", "George of the Jungle", "Sideways" and "All About Steve".

"I actually never had any training; I did a little bit of acting in high school and college, then I worked in advertising, which led to a voiceover career. That is why I moved to LA, to get a bigger stage in terms of voiceovers. Acting was all by osmosis," Haden Church said in a statement.

He added: "I got an audition. I got a movie, and worked on a movie set for three weeks and I played a character. Then I was like, wow. I'm moving to LA. Now, I just do it with my own facility of creating characters, and hopefully they're believable and not stupid."
