Actress Chloë Sevigny, who won a Golden Globe for her role in the television series "Big Love," didn't bowl as a kid.

George Whipple: Do you bowl?

Sevigny: I bowled about a year ago in Wales. I was making a film and there's not much to do there.

Whipple: You didn't grow up bowling?

Sevigny: I grew up in the suburbs, but I don't think bowling was really high on my list of activities, no.

Whipple: What was on your list of activities?

Sevigny: In Connecticut? I don't know if I should say!

Tony Shalhoub, the star of the television series "Monk," views Second Stage Theatre as an important institution.

"Well I've long been a fan and supporter of Second Stage. I was fortunate enough to do a play here three years ago. Not here at the bowling alley, there at Second Stage on 43rd Street and it was a fantastic experience," said Shalhoub.

John Slattery of "Mad Men" fame is also a fan of Second Stage.

"I've been living in New York for a long time and I did play there. And it's a worthy cause, it's hard to keep theaters alive," said Slattery.

Actress Taylor Schilling took mercy on me and tried to teach me how to bowl, and after all these years, I finally got a bowling trophy.
