Kevin McHale finds it "mind-boggling" that he managed to build an acting career

Speaking on the 'Work in Progress' podcast, he explained: "My interests from when I came out of the womb, it makes sense. But the fact that anybody can find success in what they love to do, is mind-boggling. You can be prepared, you can do all the things that you needed to do but it still takes a little sprinkling of magical timing and luck.

"The fact that that has happened to me a couple of times is mind-boggling. My parents have been visiting the past two weeks, so there's been a lot of nostalgia and looking back. We used to come out to LA for acting things so there's been a lot of introspective reflection these past two weeks!"

The 'Boychoir' star also recalled that he would idolise pop culture icons when he was a child and try to emulate their performances but that his true goal in life before finding acting was to become a weatherman on breakfast television.

"I was nine years old when 'Titanic' came out belting out 'My Heart Will Go On', I just had to. I just had to do it. Or I would be in front of the TV learning the dance routines to N*SYNC, Britney Spears and Michael Jackson. Or...there was this cheap video camera, one Christmas, some toy video camera came out and I used to film myself doing 'Good Morning America', as the news anchor doing the weather, which is what I really wanted to do.

"I learned everything about the weather, I read books on the weather, because I was so scared, and if I knew about it, I could see the signs that a tornado was forming!

"It did happen, we would go to Florida for vacation and I would see the storms coming and be like 'We have to get inside home!' Really uplifting! I was such a fun kid...just paranoid all the time. So yeah, I would film myself make maps of the United States."
